Default 303 Protectant on a NEW car?

My 04 S2k is only a month old now. After searching in the past on here I've made the obvious choice of getting some 303 aerospace protectant. BUT, is it even needed on a brand new S2k considering the top probably already has some layer of protection? Would it be a waste to use 303 now? or no??

Thanks

right on getting some protection on the top...
nope, it does not have any special protection from the factory.
its up to you- 303, vinylex, raggtopp are a few good products for the top.
tips on how to apply it to the top:

wash the top and dry it- then
soak a rag away from the car... rub it in really well. let it sit awhile (i do the rest of the car detailing) then come back with a clean rag and buff it out. sometimes i use two separate clean rags... you want to be sure to get all excess off of the top so that it doesnt run onto the car if it rains.
