303 is used a lot for aviation and marine use. Some complain about streaking. You might want to think about something all the soft top manufactures recommend: RaggTopp. (Make sure you get the correct one for vinyl and not cloth)

I have been using for a decade and my top looks almost new. No streaking.

My car/top is 17.5 years old. I have been applying 303 to the top every 6 months since new and looks the same as the day I picked it up from the dealer. I'm in S FL, but the car is always garaged. I also apply Shin Etsu grease to all the top seals and hoses under the hood every 6 months, as I plan on keeping the car until my son inherits it!!

What 303 product are you all using…I see a cleaner…a fabric sealer and I believe there is a 303 product good for rubber seals and vinyl that has a high U.V. protection….which one to use ? Thanks all !!

Question Fabric or Vinyl?

New to this forum how do you tell if your top is fabric or vinyl?

Is your top OEM?
My understanding is that all OEM tops are vinyl, not cloth. Could be wrong?

OEM roofs were vinyl. Better aftermarket roofs are cloth although vinyl is available..
