Default Is your canopy looking a little dull?

Product: Mother's Preserves
Cost: $12 @ Super Cheap Auto
Application: Used an old sock cos I couldn't find a rag.

Hondaboy found it.
I'm just pimping it.





I'm still trying to fix my canopy window... the honda plastic cleaner works a treat, but it's still bit frosty.

If it's anything like 303 once the sun gets on it, it will start to dry out and lose its sheens in blotches until it has all disappeared completely.

The only solution is to redo it weekly.

I guess the sun isn't an issue though for NSW drivers at present.

Ive been using Mothers and 303.. both will come off in the rain.. still yet to find one that is water proof.

But either one comes up real nice! Mothers smells like bubblegum!!

I might try the canvas treatment we use on our tents.
Military Spec.
It's super water proof.

Shouldn't be too long a wait given the ****ed up weather we have been experiencing of late.
