UV protector and detailing for Softtop
 
I need your feedback on a soft top UV protector and detail-er as where i live the UV index runs in 12-13 in Summer. Soft top is Black. Cheers.

Raggtopp or 303 fabric protectant for the top, and novus or plexus for the plastic is what it boils down to. :cool:

I clean the top with 303, the window with Plexus. A lot of people use Raggtopp to waterproof the top, I like Renovo's waterproofer. It's a pain to find, but it paints on, which I find much more satisfying and trust more than a spray. I haven't tried it but they also have a product that claims to renew faded softtops.

I like the Renovo dye and sealant products. A supplier is in NJ. Good tech info on their website.

Where do you guys get the 303?

303
 
I buy my 303 through Ebay. There are lots and lots of sizes and lots and lots of prices. Do the math to get the best buy.

Oh yeah, and apply with a disposable foam brush. Do not spray it on. Apply liberally. When it's dry, go over it with a lint brush.

Thanks Max....knew there had to be a local place to get the 303.

Ordered from NAPA. Works great.

You can get novus stuff at a lot of motorcycle dealers. I get 303 products from a local marine / boat shop. I like raggtopp for the canvass.
