RV stores also carry 303, and you don't have to pay a shipping charge.

Glad the members have told you where to get 303. It is amazing to me that auto parts places do not carry it. On top of all the other uses for it, I brought my plastic rear window back from a hardening, hazy mess with 303, followed by Plexus to clear up a few smudges. It's great for leather, too. A friend came over with a 99 Audi A4 last night with hard and dirty leather interior. After using a good cleaner, we applied 303. Result? Softer than new.

This stuff is far different than Armor All and similar products, which leave a temporary shine but dry out the plastic or leather in the long run. 303 has a way of actually soaking into the pores of even plastic materials and softening it. Just bought a new leather couch and loveseat for our living room. Guess what I put on it first thing?

Thanks,
Richard

According to this site our tops are made of fabrics and nylon and the 303 is for vinyl so i don't think it's the right stuff to put on it.
Raggtopp seems to be THE stuff.

t.c.

I believe you will find that s2k tops are made of canvas that is coated on both sides with a plastic material. The coating, of course, is thicker on the outside than the inside. If any kind of plastic or leather is involved, 303 is appropriate. I know nothing about "ragtop" and am eager to learn more about it. But from what I know now, 303 would be very appropriate for use both outside and inside our tops.

In fact, if you've read the threads about owners developing holes in their tops, forgive me for speculating that some sort of protective coating of this type might be part of the solution.

Now I've said enough about the good points of 303. Somebody please inform me about "ragtop."

Thanks,
Richard
