303. Just don't use too much, it has been known to streak when washing your car after you apply it.

No! Use it very sparingly and apply it with an old washrag or small towel that has the 303 on it. Let it set for a few minutes and wipe off the excess. My red car doesn't look very good with white streaks on it after a rain. Applying it this way will keep the streaks away.

I use a paint brush to apply the 303 and brush along with the diagonal pattern of the top. Call me anal, but I just like to make sure the 303 penetrates and protects.

The streaks only occur if it rains and when you wash the car. If you wash the car I'm asssuming you'll clean your windows too. If it rains I just clean the windows when I get home.

By the way when I wash my car I usually just rinse the top with just water unless there's some bird $hit. This makes the 303 application last longer.

just my $.02

I think the best way to apply is to use an applicator sponge. Spray onto the sponge, then wipe on. Always spray downwind of the car to make sure that the little droplets don't get on the windows, because it is kind of a pain to get off windows.

Use either Renovo or the 303 convertible top cleaner. Both work well. IMHO, the Renovo is a bit icky to work with.
