In my opinion, yes.

if they're good enough for RP they're good enough for me! the place i bought my tonneau from suggested the 303 to protect it but i just thought they were trying to get a few more bucks out of me. i think i'll give it a shot!

I found some meg's #40 at a local NAPA store. I just tried it and I must say I am very pleased with the results so far. Much better than anything I have previously used (back to black, turtle wax ice, meg's vinyl protectant in the red bottle). I will see how it holds up. If you let it dry and then wipe with a clean dry cloth it really looks good, not streaking looking. This is the application instructions anyway. Here's some pics.

Mirrors with Meg's #40




Bedrails with Meg's #40



Final Product; waxed with mothers FX, meg's insane shine on tires, meg's #40 on black exterior trim.

How does it hold up after it rains?

No rain yet. I will post after the next rain and ley you know. The meg's #40 also has some cleaning power to it as I used it today on my sister's aviator that has a tan interior. The inside door sill next to the bottom of the door was discolored with blach marks and stuff and the meg's #40 cleaned it up nicely. Damn man, that aviator has a 4.6 in it but hell is has what more pep than the f150s with the 4.6.

I dressed my mirrors and bedrails yesterday with #40, today it rained and I had some streaking down the sides of my truck. Not much but it ran, oh well looks like I'm off to find some 303 protectant.

You'll probably see just a little bit with 303 as well... I don't think any of them are perfect from that standpoint. Especially if you've just applied it within the 24 hours prior to the precipitation...

We got some rain here yesterday and I do not see any any streaking but I do see a little light spotting on tne mirrors. This is still the best product I have used. I have not used the 303 though.

Yea, It definitely wasn't 24 hours more like 5 to 6. It really wasn't all that bad just a few streaks nothing that a little quick detailer couldn't take care of.
