The subject of the OP is the soft top. And the soft top does require some TLC to keep it new and 303 is the best product I know of to use on the S2000's top.

The other points were only a side note supporting other uses - especially about the headlights. The point about headlights was specifically made because my car is a Florida car - and if you live or spend much time in Florida one of the things you'll notice is yellowed/crazed headlights and peeling clearcoats are very common here. My car has over 70,000 miles of use on it - it would have a lot more however it was stored for 3 years while I was stationed in the Middle East. Regardless - it looks great for a car with 9 years on the clock.

On the "wax" off-subject comments, depending on the type of wax (synthetic vs natural) it will protect smooth surfaces such as headlight lenses - that's no secret. However, natural wax (carnauba) will do little to protect anything from UV - it's only good for beading water. Natural wax can actually accelerate the breakdown of automotive finishes. Since the subject was broached... one of the best "waxes" I've used over the decades is actually one of the cheapest - and it was one of the first synthetic waxes - Nu Finish. It doesn't last a year down here as claimed though (no wax will - and I've tried just about every synthetic wax out there). You need to wax 3 times a year to keep your paint from fading or peeling in Florida.

So I've been "Binging" 303 vs Ragg Topp and I think I'll try 303.
There is a boat shop[of all things] not far from where I work so I'll swing by there before the weekend and pick some up.
I thought I was going to need to buy it online because I could not find it at any of the auto shops near by...

Thanks guys!!!

ROBEVANS, Maybe replace your black elastic straps to help it sit flatter? I just replaced mine with the Midifry (sp?) ones and the result was godlike!

Only use the Aerospace Protectant on an OEM S2000 top - never use the Fabric Guard. 303 Fabric Guard can only be used on true cloth tops - of which the OEM S2000 top is not. The OEM top is a vinyl material.

If you install an aftermarket top, you will have to check with the manufacturer to see if it's a cloth or vinyl top.

I believe the bagginess shown in the picture is a byproduct of the installation. I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done to rectify this without a reinstallation. You may want to initiate a separate post asking if there's any way to adjust this.
