It does make it less sensitive to IR as well. The problem is the noise. 300D is old so despite of it's quite low noise back in the day, by today's standards it's terrible. ISO 200 is still somewhat practical. ISO 400 is only usable with very short exposure times. ISO 800 is useless not to mention ISO 1600 which is as high as it goes.

Bumped into a new problem... I have quite an extreme amount of hot pixels in the sensor, when using long exposure times. Nice. I guess I'll start searching for a program to fix them. Changing the sensor would cost way too much. Better to get a new body.

Edit:

Can't be bothered to make a new post for just one picture.
Photo taken from my balcony. Thought the clouds were quite nice. Did exaggerate the colors just a bit though. I think it came out quite nice.
