303 was designed for use on the space shuttle, so it is not cheap.
You can probably find something more affordable at Walmart ( ) if that's more your style.

I however consider my MINI to be more than just a car so I do not buy the cheapest stuff in town. But this is simply my personal preference.

You can find it here on NAM in North American Car Care or Autogeeks.com or Autopia.com.

Hey, Try this website. They have an article about the very thing you are talking about. When I washed mine the 3rd time, I had water spots. I tried the vinager bath, and that did the trick. My MINI was the best its ever looked. Just remember to wash after the bath and rewax. This works great on windows also.
Good Luck

Thanks! The way you described it, I was expecting it to be like $50 or something! Can this stuff be used on the leather steering as well? The dash?

You can find the best advice for car care at www.autopia.org. They have great step by step instructions and lots of advice. Just try and read as much as you can before you post. They have a search tool that is really great and a list of acronyms so you can decode the jargon.
