EMS (Eastern Mountain Sports) also carries 303.

I also couldn't find it locally anywhere near my home (at least according to the zip code search function of retailers on the 303 website). If you PM me, I can tell you where I bought it online. I spent a fair amount of time searching and this website seems to be the cheapest (I bought the gallon size).

I have some good experience with the 303 cleaner/protectant from work - I work at a boat dealership (have for nearly 6 years now) and it's GOOD stuff. Vinyl cushions/upholstery and the like.

I have been wondering for a LONG time now with my JK...HOW THE HELL TO CLEAN THE SOFT TOP!

I have tried warm water and soap, different soaps, and even convertible top cleaner. ALL have failed to get the dirt and brown out of the soft top! The truck hasn't looked new since I did the top with "BACK TO BLACK"...however, when it rained it ran and left OILY streaks down the body and paint!

So it doesn't surprise me to hear how popular 303 is and how good it works. But what I want to know, is WHO here has used it on a dirty soft top (and I mean DIRTY, from wheelin' and MUD, etc.), and with what results?

I think I may be hittin' up West Marine on 27 and Waverly tommorrow (locals will know what I mean, lol)! Gotta love that marine industry discount!

Thanks for the input guys!

I've used it on a mudd stained top, you just use more. I even use it when my bumpers and step rails get mud on them and the rest of the jeep if fairly clean. Works great, buy the gallon , you'll wanna use it on everything

I just bought the 303 protectant and 303 convertible top cleaner yesterday from Murry's Discount Auto Parts. This stuff is awesome. I am going to use this on all plastic and both tops. I used to use back to black, but no more.

Just gonna add my 2 cents as well and give the big thumbs up to 303.

I had searched it out in the forum about a month ago and went in search of it up here in the Great White North, it was expensive and hard to find, finally found it at a local truck supply shop and they had limited supply as they are switching product lines....so I bought a gallon of it and love it, cost about 100.00 but worth it in my opinion, gives the soft top and fenders a revitalized new look without a heavy shine, and it doesn't attract dust as I found armor-all tends to....also, the guys mentioned that the problem with armorall and similar products is that they contain alcohol in them supposedly which over time and length of use supposedly weakens plastics and will make them brittle....now I'm just repeating what I heard on that, I don't have any other info on it, but if anyone else has heard the same of has more insight please let me know
....if you can find 303 get yourself some

Holy SH%t! $100, I pay $50 a gallon at my local RV shop, and I thought that was high
