It's Time To Do The Top Again
 
I've used Ragg Topp but now I'm considering 303. Anyone use 303 cleaner and protectant?

I have used 303 products in the past for other uses but won't try them on my convertible tops. They are probably fine but IMO nothing will beat RAGGTOPP. It's expensive for a reason. My T/A top, despite it being tan, is still in very good to excellent shape after 13 years now. My GT top is still 'as new' and my old air cooled 911 cabriolet was still fine after 16 years before I sold it. No experimenting for me. Best of luck!

I've used and have a bunch of other 303 products and really like them. Before I bought/used Ragg Topp I found the 303 online but no one carried it. 303 is made in Germany and AFAIK the Germans make high quality stuff. 303 claims one application is good for 3 years. Damn...

It's probably fine but buying it because it's German shouldn't be the reason. After owning a Porsche and BMW I can attest to the Germans building some fine driving machines but the quality isn't all what it is cracked up to be. Out of my 3 convertibles in the photo below, the only one remaining of those 3 'verts today is the T/A. These were low mileage well cared for cars too. All RAGGTOPP maintained cars with positive results. My GT 'vert came afterwards.

Just got the 303 Care Kit. I'll let you know how it goes. My top is original and will need to be replaced in a couple of years. So, if the 303 is such a shitty product and ruins my top I really don't care.

...but if you find out it is an equal (after about 6 months or so) let us know please. You never know if Raggtopp goes out of business or changes somehow. May I ask how much the kit was for comparison?

$23.00 shipped from Amazon. After I applied the fabric guard the top is now a darker shade of black.
