I am convinced. Where is a good place to buy these products...... Ron

 

I got mine online at Amozon.com. I went to AutoZone & PepBoys and they do not list either one. I live in an area on the eastern shore and boating products are readily available and 303 is in about every boat shop. I hope this helps!

 

same here, a google search and amazon came up the most affordable...including shipping, of course. I got two bottles of 303 for some other items after the top is done.

 

like Sam, my top also has creases That look darker than the rest of the roof. Will 303 smooth out the color or do nothing at all to the color? Maybe there is a stain or something that can be used to dye the canvas safely?

 

The color of the roof is not changing it is the way the material is pinched or chafed and lighting that is creating the color change. As best I can tell neither one of the products add color, what it does do is add life to the canvas that is dry and faded. I hope this helps!

Hi, I had never heard of 303 products and I thought that it would be hard to find.... I finally did a google search and found that it is a popular product. After looking at all the ads, the main difference between Raggtopp and the 303 product is that 303 should last 3 years..... So, then I went on a quest to find the best price. My results, Amazon at $27.99 including shipping is the best price.... I ordered it. Most were $24.99, but had high shipping prices.

I am glad that this subject came up because my top now acts like a sponge..... Ron

 

It's not going to last 3 years. From everything I've read, either 303 or Raggtopp will last you several non-soap washes and will then need to be reapplied. If you clean with soap and water it may not last more than 1 or 2 washes before needing to be reapplied. However, after your initial application, maintaining it should take much less product depending how often you reapply.

 

I don't soap up my top when I wash my car, and I get about three good months of protection and then it starts to taper off. And by good protction, I mean the top doesn't soak up any water. It slowly starts to soak up more as the protection drops...but after three months a quick coat is all that is needed.

That's with Florida heat and tons of afternoon rain and weekly washes where I hose down the top..so I agree definitely not 3 years on convertible top..maybe on furniture but not convertible top
