3 coats? I ended up using 2/3rds of a bottle to do it. It has a pretty strong smell too while drying.

There's no reason to cover anything when applying ragtopp. It doesn't spray out that far and short bursts, from about 6 inches around the edges are fine. Take any mild cleaner, such as Zaino's car wash diluted in a spray bottle, or a waterless car wash and get the overspray off where you see it. All that plastic is a case of here come the winter blues! Proximity and bonding with the garage diva are very important during the winter but me thinks it's time to adjust the medication!

I am a big fan of Raggtopp, however my application protective measures tend to be a bit different and involve spraying the top with one hand while drinking a beer with the other. So far I have been very happy with the results.

Also, since replies to this post also seem to prompt dog pictures, I have included one of my own:

I've had the Raggtopp sitting in the garage for about a year now and have yet to attempt to treat the roof dreading exactly what you have pictured, Griz ! I think I might try the Perfectlap approach with the shoe box instead ( I still need to by an Oxo feathertip brush to clean the top prior to applying the protectant, though ).

That's so awesome what you are doing rescuing that dog ! I volunteered for the Humane Society for a couple of years and it would make me sick what some people are capable of in regards to animals.

By the way, you're both wrong. Here's the best dog in the world...

FYI
don't spray Raggtopp on your dog.... It tastes terrible.

So...what are you saying...don't spray it in your dog's mouth, or dont lick your dog after you spray him?

I initially used a protectant that can be found at a fabric store. I forget the brand. When that was used up, I went with upholstery protectant manufactured by the same folks that make 303. You can find it in marine and RV stores. I figure it is all molecularly the same, and the rest is marketing / packaging. Anyone have any comments or experience with what doesn't work? Any late discovery misery from a bad product?

Top looks great! I definitely have to do that.

Actually, last night I was bored so I took care of putting some mesh grills in my side vents. Thanks Grizz for the "how to" on it.

Anyway, great lookin' dogs! Here's one of mine! I adopted her from the Northshore Animal League.

I tend to apply more along this way as well.

Random dog pic. Oh and I love raggtopp, but some of you guys need to remember a little bit goes along way!
