Yes the "cleaner" works for both cloth and vinyl tops. Your "protectant" will either be a vinyl protectant or a cloth protectant. A 350Z roadster has a synthetic/vinyl top.

Screw armor all! I sprayed some on a microfiber towel and just wanted to put some protectant on the dash area. it's so patchy and just looks a hundred times worse than before! Oh well. - i'll just have to get some of the 303 protectant everyone talks about. I went to AutoZone and they didn't have it, so i'll either hit up advance autoparts or just order it online.

Can anyone recommend a sun visor for the roadster? the one i have for my old car is too large to fit in the windshield.

I bought a 4 dollar one @ advanced auto parts ... fits perfectly.

about the 303 ... pretty sure you won't find it in any run of the mill auto parts store (Pep Boys, etc).

get a "California car duster". use it on the interior after a romp where dust comes up. Even on the outside.It will keep the dust at bay. Maybe every 3rd time give it a good clean by whatever manner you think appropriate. Just wash the top with any of a number of cleaners. I use a jeep top cleaner that I have left over. Works great. I suspect they are all the same. price just increases depending on the name on tha label. I.E., Jeep vs MB vs Nissan vs BMW.

try groitsgarage.com. Good stuff.
