Used cockpit premium forever, but seems that 303 seems to be the go-to around here. Is that in fact the case? If so, any reason? Thanks.

I have used cockpit premium forever as well. And you probably know it leaves pretty much no residue and doesn't change the color of the interior AT ALL.

I get why 303 gets alot of praise because it has great UV blocking abilities but it will absolutely change the color to whatever you are applying. Some people like that the black dash becomes a bit more "darker" after applying but me personally I do not like it at all.

But each person's situation is different. I garage my car every day, have tinted windows to block UV, and have a parking garage at work.

If I had a car that sat outside 24/7 my opinion might be different since I would want more UV protection.

Don't believe anyone who says 303 leave a completely OEM matte finish. It's just not true. I don't have a link but if you search youtube I remember seeing a comparison video with both of these products in it and it mirrors exactly what I am saying and have experienced.

You'll be hard pressed to find any better then Cockpit Premium, if all you're looking to do is find a very gentle cleaner, doesn't change the color of the interior, and leave no residue behind.

Exactly my thoughts

For the interior, I use cockpit premium because it has a nice scent. And for the outside rubber/plastic pieces, 303 is my first choice.
