With 303 protectant, definitely apply evenly. I used to pull the trigger really soft and get it in blobs which didn't help. Don't be cheap, put it on spray and spray hard and even then wipe and disperse to dry it completely. Don't let any left over drops of protectant so it has a sheen even shiny black coat. And do a final wipe to prevent tun off when it rains or the next time you wash.

I have an 06 bb ap2 now
The previous owner only put 9000 miles on it and kept it as a garage queen. Ive had my car for about 2 years now as a dd and am now seeing fade spots and the notorious tear on the roof caused by the frame of the softop.. Ive used several cleaning products but seems the softop will tear at the corners no matter what unless you never fold your top ever

I disagree with this regarding the tearing. If you properly de-burr the bars according to the Honda TSB, in my experience the corner tears will not happen. Add a good 303 treatment 2-3 times per year, and the top will last a long, long time.

A TSB is a technical service bulletin. You can Google "soft top TSB site:s2ki.com" even if you don't know what it means (or "Honda TSB" if you want to find out what TSB means):

The top doesn't have to be removed to deburr. Jump to step 8.
