Default Finally got around to treating the top

I've only had my car a few weeks now and I was out of town for more than half of that. I finally got some time the other day to clean and treat the top and it looks much better. I used Poorboy's World Natural Look Dressing. I used it on my previous car so I already had it. I plan to try 303 once I run out.

Left side is done in the picture.

Looking good!

Should have done the right side with 303, then compare.

Looks great!

Poorboy's Natural Look is one of my favorite dressings. Try it out on your tires if you haven't already.

303 does a pretty good job on OEM. My top looked like hell after 9 years, 140k+ miles, and 2 years buried under a hardtop. It still doesn't look great (needs to be replaced), but the 303 really brought back the color.

i have the 303 uv spray, had my S for 4yrs now, never thought to spray the top. Do you guys use the fabric guard?

I don't use it on mine, but I've got an OEM top which isn't fabric. I have no idea how well it would work on the vinyl.

I have a cloth top, I've been cleaning it with Raggtop Cleaner and protectant...could using a dressing like Poor Boys or 303 improve the look?

Probably not much of a difference.

Regular 303 should be fine. From my experience, cloth tops already look worlds better than the OEM top.

The OEM top is vinyl over fabric, so 303 is ideal since it is made for plastics/synthetics. I've been using it since day one and my 8 year old top looks great. The best thing about 303 is that it has zillions of uses.
