Great product for car vinyl top and interior

Very impressed, will continue to use. I have read many reviews and found this to be about the same quality and simplicity as the RaggTopp product for the same purpose. The only reason I went with the 303 is that it has more uses (mostly just plastic and then some others). I'll give you some tips on using the convertible top. The cleaner works great, just follow the simple instructions. You don't really need that particular cleaner to clean the top, but it's cheap with a kit. Tip: Use a VERY soft brush or non-abrasive sponge to clean all surfaces, regardless of the soap used. Use a suede cloth to dry, cover the skin areas, remove and wring, and cover again until completely dry. A regular towel dries, but not as easily. Dry the gaps where the plate meets the frame (usually you just put a little pressure on the gap without using too much force). Don't worry about overspraying the included cleaner. Sun dry if you can - just make sure it's dry. Now about the vinyl bandage. Some people cover the entire car in plastic to avoid overspray, which will certainly work but seems like overkill. If possible, do this step in the garage. The temperature must be at least 70 degrees. I recommend two microfiber towels to get the process done (rag size, roughly 12" x 12"). A piece of cotton t-shirt of the same size can substitute for microfiber, but use a larger piece of t-shirt if you are using it for drying. If you SLOWLY squeeze the spray gun, it will come out without spraying anywhere (assuming inside a building). Do not spray near the edges of the top. Can be sprayed directly or sprayed into the applicator. Always spray on the applicator cloth when doing it outside to prevent it from spreading through the air. Spray SLOWLY again. I believe the key should work ok in that range. 15 x 15 inches: wet then dry. Spray, spread with a cloth or spray on a cloth and wipe, then dry with another cloth. Repeat until finished. Always spray and apply to fabric on edges, windows, hood fronts, etc. to avoid overspray. The applicator cloth gets wet after a short time, making it easy to apply to parts without having to constantly spray them. If you accidentally spray paint or a window, simply wipe it off with a dry cloth. You don't need crazy overspray protection if you can just take it off before it dries for a while. If you really want to be special, prepare a bucket of soapy water and wipe away any excess splatter. But if you're careful from the start, overspray isn't a big deal. I've done this successfully on my Miata and it only took me about 15 minutes to get dressed. And I was very picky that everything was perfect. And when you're done, use this stuff on all the seals around the top, windows, doors, etc. They recommend wiping it down and letting it sit for about 5 minutes before drying. I used the same microfiber towels after doing the top as it's a much dirtier job. And if you have even more time, use this material for all interior plastics.
