303d the sidewalls, but not the tread/slick/contact surface. They look good - but not shiny. Still need to wipe them down. My older Conti GP5000s cracked just sitting in the garage with zero sun exposure. Maybe this will help - not after pretty, just longevity.
We shall see if i stay upright when riding on the sidewalls…but on second thought, if I am on the sidewalls, I will not be upright.

OSHA may have this product on their hit list for 2024. So far its not listed as a hazardous waste. But in some states the Sodium dichromate, dihydrate and the Ethylene glycol are a No, No.
Many of us remember the days of Tetraethyllead and R22. Rats... Looks like we might loose another one...

If you have a a devil-may-care attitude to life you can still buy all you may ever need for just $20/gal.

303 ride update. Rode yesterday on fairly wet curvy pavement with a top speed of 32 and average over 18 and amazingly enough, I did not 
crash. But then, I used a sponge to apply and didn’t put any on the contact parch. And best of all, tires still look marvelous since the stuff is not shiny. May make 303 spray part of regular bike maintenance ritual.
