While there may be some controversy about how much the 303 will
actually extend the life of dacron, there is no doubt it helps a lot
to prevent staining. Thats the main reason I use it. Ordinary resin
coated dacron can be stained permanently by bird droppings and
fly specks. And, you are not supposed to use harsh cleaners on it.

It does improve the colors and may slow the fading due to UV.
