Tom told me about 303 when I was at the meet. I have ordered it and should have it in two weeks. I have a cleaner, but I didn't know what to use for a protective coating.

303 is an awesome. Product.....It's the only thing I have ever used on my car since new....

....Just do NOT spray this product on......Wash your top as usual..
Let dry, & pour some in a small plastic bowl....Use a wax applicator to apply. I do mine, in quarters...Be sure to get the seems well. After applying to the entire top, let sit about ten minutes, then wipe with a lint-free cloth....Your top will look like new....

1. Someone else had said not to spray; I just read the directions and sprayed; again, I know I'm a disappointment, ha!
2. I do it in sections, of course; spray, wipe/rub it in with shop rags I buy at Sam's (lots of lint included), doing the seams and edges especially well.
3. I try to do this every month, and I will do it every month till I put the hardtop on, hoping to preserve it so I never have to replace it.
4. By the way, why not spray?

If you get it on glass or paint, it's extremely difficult to remove.

....Product gets all over the window glass, moulding & paint.....Much easier & faster to just wipe on with a wax applicator, product does not go all over, drip...or escape into the air !!!!

Denny, do you buy your 303 locally? They sell it at Holman Motors (the GMC/RV dealer) in Eastgate, you know.

Interesting. A week later and we are still posting in the Tomcatt thread. Guess we all had a good time and don't want it to end. A real tribute to Tom.

I use a cotton wax applicator and a Rubbermaid sandwich container. The container seals up air tight so when I am done I keep the applicator in it and it is ready to use the next time. Just pour a small amonut of 303 of the pad and away you go.

I get my 303 from Murrary's Auto Parts.
