Before and after top with 303 Aerospace protector

There was a break in the rain this afternoon, the sun came out!

So I washed the vinyl top and then rinsed and dried it and then sprayed and wiped off the 303.

I think it made a huge difference, can't wait to see how it performs in the rain!

Before and after pictures.
I did nothing to the pictures at all besides made them smaller so they fit better here.
Notice I failed to wipe the stuff off the body at the bottom of the second picture, wiped it off after I saw the pic...

RickB, that really turned out good! I've gotten the 303 on bright trim and painted surfaces and it's never caused a problem. Your top looks new again.

Looks great! but FWIW I have no desire whatsoever to see how my top performs in the rain. I don't even have a desire to see how well it folds up.

303?

Aerospace?

Performs in the rain?

Expecting meteor showers? :jester:


Never heard of the stuff, what's it supposed to do.

OK so my almost new top that has been folded up under the tonneau cover for the past 3 years has oxidation on the windows already. Got a solution for that anyone? Just about zero direct sunlight as car sits in garage rest of the time.

PlastX by Meguires works good too for the clear windows.
It's something I have used and recommend, I am sure the Mothers product is at least as good.
