POLL: Raggtopp vs 303
OK ladies and gentlemen, I've done some reading and found that some prefer 303 and other's raggtopp for protecting their roadster tops. Now we can all come to an accord that we need to purchase the one specifically for canvas/cloth/fabric and NOT the one for vinyl.
Please post any stories, comments, or religious preference to either product. I beleive somebody mentioned that 303 doesn't leave marks where application was uneven, as opposed to raggtopp which does leave some kind of over concentration marks.
Any stories, tips on application, etc? I figure I should put news paper on the paint and windsheilds to make sure none of this protectant goes where it isn't supposed to. Do any of these products mess up my paint job or leave some nasty/gunky residue?
example:

You simply spray it on your complete top with the fine mist applicator and after it quickly dries, the water just rolls off in beads. There is NO discoloration at all and it is really easy to apply. The bottle recommends two coats but I have NEVER put more than one coat on any of my cars and the product works great. I have also used the RaggTop products but found they can leave spots on your top if applied too heavy??? Anyway, whichever product you choose, here's a little helpful hint.

The top is made of a cloth-like vinyl material. I originally used raggtop for cloth tops, then switched to the vinyl protectant. Top looks much better (darker & more shine) using the vinyl protectant.

From the sounds of it, next poll will be Raggtop vinyl vs Raggtop cloth.
ThankZ for the tips and replies my fellow roadsters,
