Vert Top Cleaner
Looking for something to clean/protect my black vert top. I've seen a product called the "303" kit. Has anyone had good experience with this one, or is there something better? Thanks in advance.

I tried both and liked the 303 better. The Raggtop is an aerosol. It is hard to control where it sprays and I had problems with 2 different cans where it would start to foam up. A big glob of foam would then drip on the top (oak, in my case) which would then leave a dark mark. The 303 is easier to control and I did not have a foaming problem.

But this really is no big deal because when it dries the spot disappears. BTW, I have a light oak top also. RaggTopp has worked great for me.

check the pics I posted here
after 7 months, the raggtopp still makes water and dirt just roll off. I have not tried the 303 product for this, but I'm so satisfied with raggtopp I have no reason to change.

and
http://www.autogeek.net/rafaca.html (Raggtop kits)
both are offered with forum discount, and Raggtop is typically the forum favorite and has many repeat customers. 303 Protectant (for dash, doors, tires) is clearly the top of there game also and offers great UV protection. You could not fail with either choice.

I have used both the Aerospace 303 cleaner and protector as well as the Raggtopp products.
I prefer Raggtopp.
The advantages to Aerospace is that it is cheaper and readily avialable at most local autoparts stores... So if you want to do it now and now wait until you can order online and get delivery fo rnext weekend's project.....
you can use Aerospace with the confidence that it will do the job just fine.

303 or Raggtop. The only disavantage I see with 303 is you can only buy it in a kit and everybody seems to use the protectant alot more than the cleaner so you end up with multiple bottles of the cleaner. I can attest the 303 works awesome on cloth tops.
