Where do you buy your 303 Aerospace? Are you talking about just the regular one, like in the link, or the automotive one?

Other people have already chimed in, and I agree -- Simple Green is a little rough. I would invest in a more automotive based APC (or at least something that is safe for all of the surfaces you have in the engine bay). I mentioned that I used C.G. All Clean, but there are a lot of options.

That is the stuff I use and the best part is that bottle will last me close to a year. It is super concentrated so you dilute it based on your application. I get an empty gallon water jug and dilute it 10:1 with distilled water. Then I refill the spray bottle as needed (if I use it on any interior parts I add more distilled water and use a 20:1 dilution). I've used it on interior plastics and vinyl, spot cleaning carpet, and engine bay.
RE: 303 -- I just use the regular one. I've been using it for years and frankly I never remember there being an automotive version, so I think that might just be a new marketing angle. I pick it up either on Amazon or Walmart depending on price. I see it in a lot of places. Slight aside, I used to use dozens of different detailing products, each one with a specific use. Over the years I have found that it really isn't necessary. (At least for me. YMMV) For example, I use the 303 for treating the engine bay plastics, interior dash and door plastic and vinyl, and tires. If you have a lip or valence that is plastic it would be great for that too. Point being, a few select products won't break the bank and have several uses. Just my $.02.
