Any places in the 253 area to buy 303 for cleaning the top?

I went to all the basic stores, Shucks, autozone, GIjoes and basically couldn't find 303. You guys know of any stores near or in Tacoma that carry them? Funny story to. I was in GIjoes looking for the stuff and ended up buying some glass cleaner. I walked up to a sales associate and asked about 303 and another plastic cleaner for the plastic window (forgot whats its called but many people here use it) He told me I shold use the "invisible glass" in my hand on my plastic window.......I was like how about no, plus there was a warning label on the can that said not to use on plastic windows! lol. I already use meguiars plastic window cleaner but I feel this might not be enough. Can anyone help me lead the way or do I have to order these online? Thanks!

Probably one more idea for those looking to clear up a plastic window on a budget that even Brant will agree with, use Pledge furniture cleaner/polish (the normal old school stuff).

It will clear up a "fuzzy" back window, and actually works well on soft top cloth as well. This is sort of a "Jeep" trick of the trade that a few of us know about, but just another suggestion.

its cheapest to buy online. but if you go to those spa shops (the ones that sell hot tubs, etc) they have 303 cleaner. expensive there tho (i think $25/bottle?)

I bought my cleaner and top protectant through AUTOGEEK.NET Quick delivery and they sent a catalog.
Fabric Top Kit (cleaner and protectant) was $24.95. They also carry all kinds of waxes and other car care products.

West Marine is supposed to carry 303 products, but all I have been able to get there is the regular 303 protectant.

Griot's Garage in Tacoma (www.griotsgarage.com) carries good plastic and glass polishers. Innovative Audio in Bellevue has the glass cleaner in stock, but I had to drive to Tacoma to get the plastic cleaner.

Yeah, we have a boat and I am in there quite a bit. They only seem to carry the regular 303 protectant and nothing else. I bought the cleanertreatment kit for soft tops through AUTOGEEK.NET. Stuff really turns the top dark black and water just beads up and rolls off. Seems to last quite a while too.

Plexus is a great plastic cleaner for the rear window. I found some either at that West Marine, or at some shop that carries painting stuff in that same area.
