May not be absolutely required but my experience suggests to me that it's not hurting anything and I like the fact that it helps the fabric shed water. I can't imagine that being a bad thing. Ultimately, only time will tell.

Care to be more specific about what you're talking about? 303, RaggTopp, and West Marine products have been around for a long time now and I've never heard of any incompatibility issue on modern top materials. I've used 303 and West Marine on my 2016 GT convertible and both performed very well.

I had a Ford dealer, when asked to rotate the tires along with an oil change, told me they couldn't rotate the tires because the lug nuts were "worn out," and it was going to cost $140 to replace them. I was wondering how stupid they thought I was. I told them no thanks and had them finish the...

For the non PP models and without the LCD digital dash, you can put up any of a number of individual gauges in the window between the analog tach and speedometer. Engine temp, oil temp, volt meter, engine air/fuel ratios, and the manifold pressure gauge that's shown in this picture among...

I've never had the streaking problem after the product as dried. I have had it when I accidentally over apply and some of it runs down the glass before it has fully dried. It's just a matter of my being a little more careful but I also brush mine on, not spray it on. As for your issues with...

Best of luck on that. I've got my fingers crossed for you! 😉

Ain't that the truth.

So from 2300 to 3600 rpm, it's showing an average torque increase of 12.6 ft/lbs. That's not earth shattering but at least it's something. I averaged all the data at or above 9 ft/lbs. All the rest of the data averaged an increase 0.72 ft/lbs. That's hardly going to be noticeable on a car...

I love that shade of blue. Many of the other blues they've offered on the Mustang were either too dark or too light for my taste. This one is about perfect!

Good question. I'm not sure. In between treatments, I usually just rinse the top with water and wash everything else. I never use car soap on the top. Once it gets to the point where it's not beading very well anymore, then I'll scrub it with the horsehair brush and 303 cleaner, then reapply...

The horse hair brush is exactly that. A brush made of horse hair and it should be labeled as such. It's not a paint brush. It's designed like the round or flat brushes you mention. I've got one and I use it only for cleaning the top. If I'm remembering correctly, it's what the 303 top...

You and me both!

That's a major reason I use a cruise control, adaptive or otherwise. I have no doubt it's saved me many, many speeding tickets through the years.

I've met a number of folks through the years that simply don't use cruise controls because they don't like them, don't trust them, or whatever. That's their choice. As I indicated before, I've been using cruise controls for a very long time, at least since 1975. I use them almost all the...

I understand the computers do need to know what gear ratios are. They also need to know what the final drive ratios are. I know that for a fact because I changed the rear end ratios on my 2016 GT and had to refresh the ECU so the darned speedometer would be accurate again. I also discovered...
