Problem with 303 Bottle - 05-28-2008, 09:08 AM

When I picked up the bottle of 303 Aerospace Protectant in my boat detailing tote tray this spring, the top neck of the 16 oz. bottle tore away from the rest of the bottle.
The bottle was probably 6 to 8 months old and the inside of the neck was discolored in the area where it tore apart.
Obviously, I wasn't happy dumping 16 oz. of 303 on the ground, but what concerned me most was the plastic bottle deteriorating. Since 303 is supposed to be a good thing for plastic, why didn't it protect the plastic bottle?
I'm not sure how I feel about putting a product on my plastic and vinyl that seems to have destroyed the plastic container it was in.
Anyone else ever experienced this?

This doesn't seem normal. I have a bottle that is at least 2 years old and still works!

Yeah, my bottle is quite a bit older and no issues. Ironically just picked it up last night to treat the rubber gasket around a sun/moon roof.

303 has been part of my product assortment for years and this is the first time a problem has occurred.

I agree that it certainly doesn't seem normal.

This is quite a conundrum, the product meant to protect your plastic has destroyed the very thing its supposed to protect...its like the tree falling in the forest with no one around does it make a sound...


I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.
