in the boating section of Wal-Mart is a little white bottle of 3M Vinyl Protectant, has UV protection and is meant for marine applications. Iv'e been using it about once a month for the last year and am pretty happy with it, I will probably try to search down the 303 after I use up the bottle just to give it a shot.

Vinylex by Lexol does a good job; I've always used that instead of 303.

Maguiar's Natural Shine - Vinyl & Rubber Protectant.
I use it on the tires, exterior trim pieces and the top.
It really gives a rich, deep color back to the top - but is a bit greasy. You need to apply liberally, leave sit, then buff off any excess. Even still, there is some run-off during the first dew/rain. Not a real issue since we all clean our cars often - and the result is a well protected and beautiful top.

Try it.....you'll like it.

Dave are you going to the Spugen BBQ, if so I want take a closer look at your top. I think I remember someone pointing out how nice your top looked. Don't forget to thank your Lucky Charms.

According to this site our tops are made of fabrics/nylon. So I don't think 303 is the right thing to put on it !!!! Raggtopp or porsches stuff seems to be THE stuff .

Our top is Vinyl and Honda of America confirmed it is vinyl. My top 3 (in order of preference):

1. Raggtopp
2. Vinylex
3. 303

Although I rank them, you won't go wrong with either of these.
