Curious about actually cleaning the top when you wash your verts. I have recently treated mine with the 303 cleaner and spray. Prior to that, when I washed the car I use a shop-vac with a roof-dedicated brush attachment and vacuum the top. I'll spray water afterwards then use a Chemical Guys horse hair brush and gently clean with my car wash bucket before I use it on the rest of the car. I then rinse then proceed with the rest of the car. I pat dry the top with a clean micro fiber towel then proceed to dry the rest of the car. Note I have had the car 8 months and it's a garage kept weekend driver, so the washes are infrequent.
I did my first 303 treatment a month ago, and still vacuum and rinse, but the water beads so I do not use the car soap. So my question is this, will the 303 Cleaner remove the 303 Protectant or reduce its hydrophobicity if you use it as a cleaner?
Was just looking at the Chem guys stuff, it says it has a UV protectan, whereas the 303 stuff does not according to a web search it just sustains the fabrics original resistance to UV.Don’t bother with Chemical Guys... 303 and Raggtop, and I’m sure from the post above the Marine stuff are best. I used 303 on the MX5 and 4 years later looks brand new. Switched like an idiot and now I’m going back to 303.
Why do you say don’t bother with the Chem guys stuff, did you find it hard to use or it does not work?
Cheers John
