303 Products Vinyl Convertible Top Care Kit, Blue

Very impressed and will continue to use. I read a LOT of reviews and figured this is about the same quality and ease as the RaggTopp product for the same purpose. The only reason I went with 303 is because it has more stated uses (basically anything plastic and then some). I will pass a few tips along for applying to a convertible top. The cleaner works great, just follow the easy directions. You don't really need this particular cleaner to clean the top, but it's cheap with the kit. Tip: Use a VERY soft brush or non abrasive sponge to clean all tops, no matter the soap you use. When drying, use a chamois towel by draping over areas, remove and wring out, drape again, until dry. A regular towel works to dry but not as easily. Dry down in the cracks where the top tucks into the frame (usually just push a little into the crack, nothing too forceful). Don't worry about overspray with the included cleaner. Dry in the sun if you can -- just make sure it's dry. Now onto the vinyl dressing. Some people put plastic all over the car to prevent overspray, which will certainly work but seems like overkill. If at all possible, do this step inside the garage. Temp must be at least 70 deg. I recommend two microfiber clothes to take care of the process (size of a wash cloth, roughly 12x12 inches). A similar size piece of cotton t-shirt can substitute for the microfiber, but use a bigger piece of t-shirt if that is what you dry with. If you squeeze the spray bottle SLOWLY, it will come out without spraying everywhere (assuming inside a building). Don't spray near the edges of the top. You can spray directly on the top, or spray into the applicator. Always spray into the applicator cloth if doing this outside to prevent it from going airborne in a big way. Again, spray SLOWLY. I believe the key is to work in an area approx. 15x15 inches: wet it, then dry it. Spray on, spread with cloth, or spray on cloth and wipe on, then use other drying cloth to dry. Repeat until done. Around the edges, windows, front of top, etc., always spray on the cloth and apply so no overspray occurs. The applicator cloth becomes soaked after a short while, so it's easy to use it for detail work without having to spray into it constantly. If you accidentally spray the paint or window, simply use your drying cloth to wipe off. You don't need crazy protection from overspray if you simply get it off before it dries for a while. If you really want to be particular, have a bucket of soapy water and sponge the overspray off. But if you are careful to begin with, overspray isn't a big deal at all. I have done it with success on my Miata, and it only took about 15 minutes of work for the dressing. And I was quite picky to get everything perfect. And when you are done, use this stuff on all the seals around the top, windows, doors, etc. They recommend wiping it on and let it sit for about 5 min before drying. I used the same microfiber cloths after I did the top since it's much dirtier work. And if you have even more time, use the stuff on the entire interior plastics.

I'm a big fan of 303 Products so bought this kit to treat a tan Robbins vinyl convertible top. Both products went on easily. Basically, wet the top and rub on cleaner, rinse, dry and apply protectant. The cleaner took care of 95% of the light surface soiling and I used an old toothbrush to scrub out a few black marks where the top rubs against interior surfaces when folded. The protectant is the same stuff normally sold separately for use on interior vinyl, plastic and rubber. It goes on easily with no sticky residue and I prefer its dull sheen to the shiny appearance of some other protectants. While using on the top, I also applied to adjacent rubber and plastic trim.

I heard this was the Best product for soft top convertibles, so I got it and it works great! The car had been sitting for a while, had a lot of pollen and mold on it. It cleaned it so easily. Great product!

Before buying 303, I've researched and compared it with Raggtopp. Based on the reviews and price of 303, I went ahead and purchased it. So far, it works as they claimed in other reviews. Before I applied the product on my Miata, my convertible top was grayish/black in color. I was a liitle worried at first after I had applied the cleaner because after it dried, my top looked more gray in color. However, after applying the protectant, my top looked new again. It is very important to read and follow the directions on how to apply the protectant. It actually repels and resist dust build up on the convertible. I used to brush off the dust every week to keep my top clean. Now, I dont have to. You can actually find videos on youtube on how to apply the protectant. This really helped me since it was my first time using it.

The convertible top on my s2000 was looking dingy, mildew build up in the nooks and crannies from just sitting. This stuff brought it around and made it look like new. protectant is also great to use on the black rubber trim
