303 Products Convertible Fabric Top Cleaning and Care Kit - Cleans And Protects Fabric Tops - Includes Tonneau Cover And Convertible Top Cleaner 16 fl. oz. + Fabric Guard, (30520)

I had did some research and watched several YouTube videos on convertible top cleaners and sealers. After the research the 303 product appeared to me to be the way to go.So, I purchased this kit, along with the 303 brush, to clean and seal my convertible top.First of all, I use a lint roller to remove as much debris on the top as possible before washing it. Next I washed the complete car and then used the cleaner and the 303 brush on the top. Left it out in the hot sun to dry. The went over the top again with lint roller and removed anything that shouldn't be there. I taped up all around the top and taped off the rear window.I liberally sprayed the top with the fabric guard, removed the tape, and wiped off any over spray on the vehicle and placed it in the A/C garage and left is dry for 3 days. After the three days a poured a bottle of water on the top and it beaded right up and ran off the top, on the water test.Am not really sure how am going to judge how affective the sealer is (weather and UV wise) or how long the sealing will last, because the vehicle I used this on is kind of a (?) garage queen. It does gets used, but it's a fair weather car, sunny or cloudy days, no rain or snow and of course, it's kept in an air conditioned garaged!I have to say the cleaner worked very good. After sealing, the water beaded up, ran off the top like it should. So far I'm happy with the purchase, it did a good job and I will purchased again when need...on second thought I'll purchased another kit now before the price goes up.

Brush: Extremely soft bristles! Definitely easy on top material, but needed to use something stiffer in a couple of spots (very carefully!). Decent for light soiling. Good ergonomics.Cleaning solution: Did the job on a good condition, lightly dirty top.Treatment solution: This top has been well taken care of so hard to say how effective. Water beaded before application but did seem to do so more after. The many youtubes are pretty convincing however for tops in worse initial condition.One application of each solution was sufficient.Outcome: Squeaky clean with water beading. Satisfyingly black and fresh looking. Couldn't ask for more. No clue how well it works on a non-maintained top, but suspect there is no reason to buy more expensive products.Application Notes: I only masked the car's hard edges with painters tape. Wetted whole car BEFORE both cleaner and treatment steps. When flushing the cleaner, I used LOTS of water on top and whole car. Did not remove paint protectants which is a potential issue. The pre and post water deluge seemed to prevent that.When treating, I was extra careful about overspray by using a handheld cardboard shield (inside garage to avoid wind drift) and treated the top perimeter with brushed on liquid rather than spray.Avoiding full masking protocol saved a lot of bother and encouraged careful use of products.

Works exactly as described! Will be purchasing again.

I have to preface this review by stating that I used the kit just a few days ago, so I am in no position to judge the long term effectiveness.I decided to try the 303 products after reading a lot of positive reviews here and on other sites as well as going to the company's web site. So far I have no reason to complain.I read many reviews which bemoaned the fact that 303 HTFG and other protectants were nearly impossible to use outside due to the effects of even the slightest breeze on the fine mist coming from the sprayer. I had the advantage of applying the HTFG in my garage, so that wasn't an issue for me.After cleaning the top with the cleaner and a horse hair brush, I left the top to dry thoroughly in the sun. The top looked pretty good to me, but I'm not sure whether the credit lies with the cleaner or the brush.I then moved the car into the garage and used a plastic painting drop cloth with an adhesive edge to mask off the rest of the car. I sprayed the HTFG on evenly, but rather liberally. I was a bit worried about overdoing it since during the course of correspondence with a rep from the company I had been cautioned to not over apply. For that reason I decided to forego the suggestion of another reviewer of pouring the HTFG into another container and applying it with a brush. As it turns out, it is okay to do so. The rep later emailed me and confirmed that even the president of company prefers that method for protecting the top on his own car, though not with a fully laden brush. I'm going to try this method in a couple of years or so when I need to reapply, and will tap the brush on the side of the bucket to avoid over saturating the first area that the brush hits. Anyways, once the protectant was on I moved the car back into the drive so that the HTFG could dry and cure properly. The company recommends high temperatures for this part - the hotter the better.There was enough cleaner for the top on my Audi A4 that I could use it again, but shouldn't need to as long as the protectant holds out.As I mentioned above, I haven't had this protectant on long enough to judge its performance, but I was so impressed with the responsiveness of the company rep to my emailed questions that I am giving 303 HTFG the benefit of the doubt for now. It certainly looks better than when I started.I will try to update this review in a few months if I can to give a better idea of how well the fabric guard performs. In the mean time I'm going with four stars for ease of use and outstanding customer support.UPDATE: Who knew they had an edit button?Well, it's been nearly two years since I started using this product and I am still very pleased. As long as you follow the instructions it works perfectly! (Clean the top, let it dry, liberally apply the product on a hot day, only rinse the top between treatments - every complaint I read here violated one of those tenets.) I had considered using a brush to apply it, but so far I have stuck to masking the windows and body with the painters' drop cloths that have the tape on the edge and just spraying.

Looking forward to using the 303 product. My review is on the packaging of the product sent. The original box had the top torn off of. You can see this in the picture. It looks like it was a returned item and then sent out on my order. The manufacturer's box was in rough shape. Thankfully it was wrapped in plastic to prevent any leaks getting into the shipping box. Product: 5 star Packaging: 1 or 2 Star

Easy to use, should come with a soft brush. But worked great on convertible top

Tried this 301 on my fabric soft-top 2-weeks ago. I was very pleased with both the wash and protector spray.
