303 Fabric Convertible Top Cleaning & Care Kit, 32 oz

Used on my 2001 bmw 325ci top. Follow instructions, top now repels water in beads. I don't think the previous owner ever used protection on the top.

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.

I am using this to replace scotch guard to waterproof my fishing rain gear. The problem with scotch guard is that the propellant (if you will) is water and if there is any water repellency left in the garment the stuff won't soak in so the fabric ends up soaking up water in an extended rain. The 303 has a petrochemical propellant and so does soak into the fabric. So far the application is easy (due to the soaking in) and the durability is superior.9/10/14 I recently spent an extended period in the rain fishing with a newer raincoat treated with 303. With the newer raincoats the fabric breathes but is supposedly waterproof. This is not entirely true. In an extended rain the fabric does not leak but is does saturate or soak into the fabric but does not leak through the fabric. If you are wearing cotton base clothing under the raincoat that clothing gets damp and there goes your insulating factor and your comfort. Obviously you would rather not have the rain soaking in (maybe OK in and umbrella but not so in a coat). That's why having the 303 soak into the fabric is such a big deal. So to the performance, the raingear did not leak and for the most part did not exhibit and signs of water soaking into the fabric. The exception was in areas of high wear or abrasion such as knee area of pants where you might lean an elbow for support. It may be that I didn't do a good job of spraying those areas or it may be that the wear or abrasion caused the treatment to wear off. The breathability (an equally big deal in the comfort category) of the fabric did not seam affected. In any case I had no garment leakage and I was very pleased with the performance and will be buying more in the future.June 15,2015. I did purchase the blue label variety and it does not work as well as the green label. I came back for a gallon this time and am refilling the spray bottle. This stuff is fantastic and I am now spraying raingear for my fishing friends. If you want waterproof rain gear this is the product to buy. My son sprayed some chair seats with this product but so far not spills so no feedback.

Brief summary: This stuff WORKS to keep outdoor sectional cushions dry. In a comparison of 303 Fabric Guard and Rust-Oleum 278146 NeverWet 11-Ounce Outdoor Fabric Spray, Clear, both are great but 303 is the winner on application, cost efficiency, drying time, look and feel.OVERALL WINNER: 303EASE OF APPLICATION: 303- Rustoleum feels less greasy when wet than 303. The 303 bottle leaked more my hands.- 303's compact spray setting wasted less product than the mist setting on either product. Compact spray still gave an even coating like the mist, and wasted less product.- Both products made cushions appear damp when treated, so it was easy to see where the product was applied.- 303 left less troublesome bubbles than Rustoleum.SCENT: Rustoleum- Both scents are very strong. Apply outdoors.- Rustoleum is pleasantly scented rather than unmasked chemical smell.COST EFFICIENCY: 303- Both products covered less area than they promised. 303 was farther off from its promise than Rustoleum, but still came out cheaper per square foot of coverage.- Rustoleum promised 20-60 square feet of coverage fabric per 11oz at $15. Expected cost: $0.25 to $0.75/square foot.-303 promised 80-200 square feet of coverage per 32oz at $22. Expected cost: $0.11 to $0.27/square foot.- My cushions have a textured heavy fabric. I applied according to instructions, dampening but not saturating the fabric with the product. My 4-piece outdoor sectional with seat and back cushions had 67 square feet of cushion.- One 11oz, $15 bottle of Rustoleum gave 11 square feet of coverage. $1.36 per square foot.- Two 32oz, $22 bottles of 303 covered 56 square feet. $0.78 per square foot.DRYING TIME: 303- 303 required 6-12 hours before use depending on temperature and sunlight.- Rustoleum required 24 hours before exposure to water.- I left both products to dry overnight outside, 70-75 degrees, on a dry night.- Within 3 hours, the 303 cushions started to look dry. After 5 hours, the Rustoleum cushions still looked wet. In the morning both looked totally dry.LOOK AND FEEL WHEN DRY: 303- Neither product changed the color or appearance of the cushions, or caused a change in feel noteworthy enough to outweigh the waterproofing benefits.- Smell: 303’s was gone within 12 hours, and Rustoleum's was gone after 24 hours.- Feel: Both products make the upholstery feel slightly thicker and stiffer.- Texture: Rustoleum has a very slightly rubbery, almost tacky feel while the 303 cushions do not.- Cleaning: Because of the tackiness of the Rustoleum cushions, dirt and pollon stick slightly more, but are easily wiped off with a damp paper towel.WATERPROOFING: Rustoleum, but barely- Both treatments almost completely waterproofed the cushions.- Dew: Morning dew beads up on both 303 and Rustoleum cushions. It can be brushed off completely from the Rustoleum cushions, and can be brushed off with very few droplets soaking in on the 303 cushions. Both are totally dry within an hour of sunlight exposure.- Rain: At the end 2 hours of rain during the day, there was pooling and beading of water on both cushions. After shaking and brushing off the water from the cushions, both were left mildly damp, and were dry and ready to use within 2 hours.- Spills: a full cup of water spilled on either cushion pools, beads, and runs off the sides. After using a paper towel to soak up what remained and brushing off droplets, the cushions were totally dry with no soaking-in through either product. An accidental watermelon spill on a 303 cushion cleaned easily by blotting with a dry paper towel the wiping with a wet paper towel. No word yet on red wine or other spills, but I will update if/when they happen.- Too soon to tell how well it will last.

Love that you get both the cleaner & protectant in one box!!! Highly recommend this for your fabric soft top on your convertible.

Great for my spa cover .

Followed the instructions very effective on my convertible top was highly impressed with this product

This is some great water repellent spray for our jacuzzi and umbrella Sunbrella fabrics, but the application process was such a pain in the rear. The spray nozzle and trigger constantly created an air lock therefore making it impossible to complete the job in a reasonable amount of time or mess. There was plenty of product left in the bottle, but as the sprayer would lock up and not dispense the product it tended to leak through the trigger onto my hand. Just frustrating that a cheap spray mechanism is used by an expensive product.... A job that should have taken a few minutes ended up taking over an hour because I had to stop multiple times for the spray mechanism to start working again.

Good product ,was not able to cover four kitchen velvet chairs , as the amount did not last to do the forth which I feel it was very pricy for only a small area covered , had I known that prior to using it would have order two or a lager size bottle

Brilliant product

フッ素系スプレーに比べると効果の保ちがぜんぜん違うので、昔から衣類、靴、傘などの防水にはこれを使ってます。

Very bad product I made 2 heavy layers and not work, some area protect and a lot of areas nothing.

The bottle top broke off and spilt contents, no way to use and apply it. A shame they know this but still sending faulty product out
