303 is waterbased, whereas ArmourAll is petroleum-based.  When I first
heard of 303 it was mainly touted as a preservative for drysuit gaskets. 
ArmourAll would probably degrade them.  Later I began to use it on boat
surfaces for its UV protectant qualities.  I think it's superior in that
regard...  
	I have also used a product called MaxiGlide, which I believe was made for
windsurfer boards.  I think my boat really does move faster through the
water with it....
