303 Convertible Top Cleaning & Care Kit

I ordered this kit last evening and it was delivered this evening. I was excited to try it based on all of the positive reviews I had read. Most reviews were regarding convertible tops. My application is for a soft tonneau cover on my Jeep Gladiator. Unfortunately, my Jeep is parked outdoors, mostly. Even more unfortunate is the exposure to the oak trees. The amount of mess that oak tree’s cause on a vehicle is frustrating. My tonneau cover gets dusted with pollen, speckled with fallen leaves and peppered with the other miscellaneous junk that falls from these trees. Needless to say, the tonneau cover typically looks terrible. Until now! I quickly went to work with the 303 cleaner after reading the instructions. I rinsed the cover and applied the cleaner. I did scrub it onto the tonneau cover with a soft bristled brush and let it sit for about 5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Wow! What a difference! I dried the cover with a microfiber towel and ensured it was completely dry. I applied the 303 Protectant by spraying it onto a clean microfiber towel and applying to the cover as a first pass. After wiping the entire cover, I sprayed a few bursts directly onto the cover and wiped it onto the cover as a final coat. I’m impressed! I would surely recommend 303 Cleaner and Protectant to anyone looking for a great product for such a purpose. Hopefully it holds up to the sun, heat and rain. Perhaps I’ll update my review after a few months, but so far, I’m extremely happy with it!

Very impressed and will continue to use. I read a LOT of reviews and figured this is about the same quality and ease as the RaggTopp product for the same purpose. The only reason I went with 303 is because it has more stated uses (basically anything plastic and then some). I will pass a few tips along for applying to a convertible top. The cleaner works great, just follow the easy directions. You don't really need this particular cleaner to clean the top, but it's cheap with the kit. Tip: Use a VERY soft brush or non abrasive sponge to clean all tops, no matter the soap you use. When drying, use a chamois towel by draping over areas, remove and wring out, drape again, until dry. A regular towel works to dry but not as easily. Dry down in the cracks where the top tucks into the frame (usually just push a little into the crack, nothing too forceful). Don't worry about overspray with the included cleaner. Dry in the sun if you can -- just make sure it's dry. Now onto the vinyl dressing. Some people put plastic all over the car to prevent overspray, which will certainly work but seems like overkill. If at all possible, do this step inside the garage. Temp must be at least 70 deg. I recommend two microfiber clothes to take care of the process (size of a wash cloth, roughly 12x12 inches). A similar size piece of cotton t-shirt can substitute for the microfiber, but use a bigger piece of t-shirt if that is what you dry with. If you squeeze the spray bottle SLOWLY, it will come out without spraying everywhere (assuming inside a building). Don't spray near the edges of the top. You can spray directly on the top, or spray into the applicator. Always spray into the applicator cloth if doing this outside to prevent it from going airborne in a big way. Again, spray SLOWLY. I believe the key is to work in an area approx. 15x15 inches: wet it, then dry it. Spray on, spread with cloth, or spray on cloth and wipe on, then use other drying cloth to dry. Repeat until done. Around the edges, windows, front of top, etc., always spray on the cloth and apply so no overspray occurs. The applicator cloth becomes soaked after a short while, so it's easy to use it for detail work without having to spray into it constantly. If you accidentally spray the paint or window, simply use your drying cloth to wipe off. You don't need crazy protection from overspray if you simply get it off before it dries for a while. If you really want to be particular, have a bucket of soapy water and sponge the overspray off. But if you are careful to begin with, overspray isn't a big deal at all. I have done it with success on my Miata, and it only took about 15 minutes of work for the dressing. And I was quite picky to get everything perfect. And when you are done, use this stuff on all the seals around the top, windows, doors, etc. They recommend wiping it on and let it sit for about 5 min before drying. I used the same microfiber cloths after I did the top since it's much dirtier work. And if you have even more time, use the stuff on the entire interior plastics.

I've not tried any other tonneau cover cleaner/protectants, but this was really easy to use and the results are very nice. I've got a 4 year old cover that hasn't been treated before. It's in a garage so not a lot of sun or weather exposure, but again it's 4 years old. So, it was time. The cleaner worked very well. I did have a few spots that needed some extra elbow grease, but it wasn't a lot of effort. It did take 4 or 5 rinses to get all the cleaner off, but other than some extra water it wasn't anything I wouldn't expect. I'm blaming the neglected years of cleaning (cracks, dry, etc.) for this. The protectant is very simple to apply. Microfiber cloth, spray as you wipe, easy. More important the cover has most of it's original luster and shine afterwards. I was very pleased. It also pulled tighter and has less flapping when you drive. I suspect that's due to increase uniform flexibility. It just lays flatter. Overall I highly recommend it. Not a lot of work, not much time involved, results are really nice. The only negative is, of course, the cost. I used a little less than half the cleaner bottle on a 6' full sized bed cover. I'm guessing it would to an 8' full sized bed twice. I only used about an 8th of the protectant bottle. So it will last for several cleaning cycles.

Before buying 303, I've researched and compared it with Raggtopp. Based on the reviews and price of 303, I went ahead and purchased it. So far, it works as they claimed in other reviews. Before I applied the product on my Miata, my convertible top was grayish/black in color. I was a liitle worried at first after I had applied the cleaner because after it dried, my top looked more gray in color. However, after applying the protectant, my top looked new again. It is very important to read and follow the directions on how to apply the protectant. It actually repels and resist dust build up on the convertible. I used to brush off the dust every week to keep my top clean. Now, I dont have to. You can actually find videos on youtube on how to apply the protectant. This really helped me since it was my first time using it.

I purchased an older GM convertible that had been stored outside and the white top was very dirty and stained. I used 303 Convertible top cleaning kit. The results are amazing! 303 cleaned a lot of the caked on dirt and some of the staining. I would recommend this product to rejuvinate an old converible top. I have attached pictures where I had done half the top so you can see the difference!

I recently used the 303 Products 30510 Convertible Vinyl Top Cleaning and Care Kit on the trim and tonneau cover of my truck, and I am extremely pleased with the results. The kit worked exceptionally well, bringing back the shine and making the surfaces look almost new again. The cleaning process was straightforward, and the conditioner left a noticeable protective layer that has shown impressive water resistance so far. Overall, this product exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to rejuvenate and protect their vehicle’s vinyl surfaces.

Works ok but I like griots better

I'm a big fan of 303 Products so bought this kit to treat a tan Robbins vinyl convertible top. Both products went on easily. Basically, wet the top and rub on cleaner, rinse, dry and apply protectant. The cleaner took care of 95% of the light surface soiling and I used an old toothbrush to scrub out a few black marks where the top rubs against interior surfaces when folded. The protectant is the same stuff normally sold separately for use on interior vinyl, plastic and rubber. It goes on easily with no sticky residue and I prefer its dull sheen to the shiny appearance of some other protectants. While using on the top, I also applied to adjacent rubber and plastic trim.

Bought for the vinyl tonneau on my Chevy pickup truck. Works very well, good stuff

Both products worked beautifully I loved the way the roof looked new again.

I never got to use the product because both bottles had 3/4 of their content spilt on the way to me and the bag was full of the fluids with the box they were in soaked

Probably made a mistake with previous cleaning solutions I have used twice before this product is used, and if I would started straight with this cleaner, maybe it could be better. Read and follow instructions. More water on the soft top before applied cleaner is better. I washed my after rain.

Works great. Top looks black again. Buy the special brush too and you are all set!
