The S2000 top is PVC not canvas. A stiff rinse with the hose when washing will keep the dust (it's worst enemy) off it. It shouldn't really need it but if you feel you have to treat it with something use vinyl cleaner and protectant.

I think the reason a lot of us use the "303" protectant is that it provides some protection from the UV rays in the sunlight. You don't need any treatment to keep the top waterproof, but sunlight degrades vinyl over time.

303 UV Protectant is simply the best. Easy to apply and keeps your top looking brand new.

I found mine at a local marine (boating) supply store.

Yes. (I think I got mine at an Autozone...)

You can buy 303 by the gallon. It is much more economical this way. 303 works great on the interior too. You don't get that 'crisco' feeling like you do from Armor All.
