I just clean it with car wash when i do the rest of the Car. 2 Times a year I spray on 303 fabric Guard protectant. ------------------ |

Check your local boating supply store for 303 products. Call around first as not all carry it. To clear up any misperceptions, there is a fabric guard, and there is a protectant. (Two different items.) You do not want to put protectant on your top! |

Good data on the renovo. I remember seeing it on a Lotus Elan site somewhere, the guy showed half the top done and half not done. On a side note, I believe they make a Renovo in Dark Blue as well for all you Mulholland guys out there. ------------------ |

For the back window cover, I traced it out on paper and used that as a pattern to cut out a piece of cardboard and popped it over the window. And it's reuseable! For you locals, I have enough cardboard to make about 3 or 4 more. Could probably get more. I picked up what I have at Sam's (free). For those newbies doing their tops in 303, make sure you mask your car good for overspray and allow PLENTY of time for it to dry good. Get caught in rain before this stuff dries and you'll regret it! Also do your best not to get the fabric guard on your rubber seals. |

Yes, TB, it's available in blue (and also tan/brown): http://www.convertiblecar.com/products/reviver.php ID, agree with everything you say, but the tape over the back window only took a couple of minutes, and you just throw it out when you're done. Also suggest using the tape over the weatherstripping; and, rather than being careful, for a buck and 5 minutes, use the disposable dropcloth EVEN JUST FOR THE 303 HTFG. The Renovo is absolutely amazing, and the 303 keeps it waterproof and looking good for quite a while between Renovo treatments. -GRROWL |

I just got the 303 fabric guard and cleaner for the convertible top on my Prowler. I want to know if anyone has used the 303 with a brush or roller instead of spraying it? It seems like it would be easier to just roll or brush it on...and not worry about overspray and taping the whole car up. |

Personally, I think you would apply too much using a brush. Given the cost of the stuff, it's probably better to take a few minutes to put some plastic over your car. Spraying would give a more consistent coverage also imo. |

The easiest way to protect the car paint while applying 303 is to raise the top and lay the plastic under it and then close the top over the plastic, no masking at all. Use a thin drop cloth, very flexible. |

I use a product called Surf City Garage Top End. Buy it at WalMart. Spray on, work in with a soft brush, wipe off. One application and your top will be as black as it can be - amazing stuff!
