ive just bought some 303 from the store and was wondering if i got the right one. It is the Vinyl Aerospace 303 protectant. Is this the right one to buy for using it on our s2ks or is it the cloth verson of 303?

 

That's the one. Outstanding results for the top. Works really well on interior vinyl also. I try to work it in well. Looks great and no hideous shine as with Armorall. Dosen't seem to attract dust either.

There is actually 2 bottles of 303..one is the convertible top cleaner, and one is the protectant..looks like this.

 

What store did you get it at? Automotive chain?

 

You can find 303 at outdoor stores like REI.

 

thanks NIN009. :-]

 

How do you guys use 303 protectant? i mean do u spray it on the top or do u spray it on a cloth and wipe it on? oh and after u wash the car do u have to wait till the next day and then apply it?

 

I wet a wax applicator pad with 303 then apply it to the top. Let it soak/dry for a few minutes then wipe it off with a terry towel (about the only thing I use terry for anymore)

 

Here's what I do. If the top is dirty or has sap on it, I wet the top down with water and spray on the cleaner and let it sit for a bit to help loosen up any sap. Then I use a soft bristle brush and scrup an area of the top and rinse it off. I do the same all over the top and make sure I rinse it thoroughly. Then I was the car and dry everything off. Next, I pull the car into the garage and let it sit overnight to make sure the top is completely dry. Then I spray on the protectant on a soft cloth and wipe on generously and thoroughly. I, then, let the car sit for a few more hours to make sure the top is completely dry before I drop the top and put on the boot. Then I hit the start button and .

 

It seems like the 303 is one of the top choices for our softtop. Although 303 can be used for the interior vinyl, which is better (safer and easier on the materials and at the same time offering good protection) - 303 or Vinylex ? Would either permanently stain or cloud up some of the clear plastics (e.g. clear rings around the climate mode dial and the audio control mode button, radio lcd display, speedo/info lens) if some of it got on them by accident ? Thanks.
