303 Aerospace Protectant for Vinyl Spa Covers - 16 oz

Help protect your vinyl hot tub or swim spa cover from damaging outdoor exposure with 303 Aerospace Protectant. Originally developed for demanding aerospace and aviation applications, this water-based protectant provides powerful UV protection without leaving behind an oily or greasy residue.

303 Aerospace Protectant helps prevent fading, drying and cracking while restoring lost color and luster. Once properly applied and completely wiped dry, it leaves a clean matte finish that repels dust, dirt and stains.

303 Aerospace Protectant is suitable for the exterior of traditional vinyl spa and hot tub covers. It may also be used on compatible vinyl, rubber, plastic, PVC, finished leather, gel-coated fiberglass and carbon-fiber surfaces.

Do not use this product on fabric or canvas spa covers. This includes woven fabric and patio-performance-style cover skins. It is also not recommended for clear plastics, unfinished leather, flooring, gauge panels or headlights.

Test the product on a small, inconspicuous area before treating the entire surface.

📋 How to Use

1. Clean the vinyl spa cover thoroughly and allow it to dry completely.
2. Move the cover out of direct sunlight before applying the protectant.
3. Place a towel beneath the application area to catch overspray.
4. Spray the product directly onto the vinyl or onto a clean microfiber towel.
5. Spread a thin, even coat across the surface.
6. Wipe the surface thoroughly and completely dry with a clean microfiber towel.
7. If streaking appears, remove the excess with a damp towel and buff the surface dry.
8. Reapply every 3–5 weeks for continued protection.

Important: This product does not air dry. The treated surface must be wiped and buffed completely dry for proper bonding and performance.

💬 Southern Leisure Says

Your spa cover takes the full force of the Texas sun, and UV exposure is one of the biggest causes of premature vinyl fading and cracking. Applying 303 Aerospace Protectant after cleaning the cover is a simple way to help preserve the vinyl without leaving the slick, oily finish associated with some protectants.

Use it only on traditional vinyl cover skins. If your spa has a woven fabric or patio-performance-style cover, this is not the correct care product.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use 303 Aerospace Protectant on my hot tub cover?

Yes, provided the exterior cover skin is made from traditional vinyl. Clean and completely dry the cover before applying the protectant.

Can I use it on a fabric spa cover?

No. The manufacturer does not recommend this product for fabric or canvas. Do not use it on woven fabric or patio-performance-style spa cover skins.

Is this product a cleaner?

No. 303 Aerospace Protectant should be applied only after the surface has been cleaned and dried. It protects and conditions the surface but does not replace a spa cover cleaner.

Does it leave the cover greasy or shiny?

No. When applied correctly and wiped completely dry, it leaves a clear matte finish without an oily or greasy residue.

How often should I apply it?

The manufacturer recommends reapplying every 30–45 days, or approximately every 3–5 weeks, for continued UV protection.

Why does the surface look streaky after application?

Streaking usually means too much product was applied or the surface was not wiped completely dry. Remove excess product with a damp towel and then buff the surface dry.

Can I spray it near the open hot tub?

Avoid spraying directly over open spa water. Apply it away from the water or spray it onto a microfiber towel to prevent overspray from entering the spa.
