My last application was in July of 2017 (car is garaged) and water still beads up and rolls off as if l had just applied the protectant. YMMV

I did this today to my car with the 303 and using the paint brush. Wow what a nice tip on using the paint brush. Top looks great and I'll be waiting the full 24 hours before I put any water on it.

I did use Raggtop product before and wasn't really happy with it. Hope this 303 does better.

Likewise. Applied the Raggtop product, meh. Maybe you can post your "review" of what you believe/perceive to be the differences. Thanks!

I have used....

....both Ragg Top AND the Porsche top product.

They both work fine.

I think the Porsche stuff works a bit better and does not require as much product to be as effective.

Just try different products and see what works best for you.


Cheers.

I keep records on everything I do to the car, so I will let you know how long the product works.
