Great Customer Service
I have to preface this review by stating that I used the kit just a few days ago, so I am in no position to judge the long term effectiveness.I decided to try the 303 products after reading a lot of positive reviews here and on other sites as well as going to the company's web site. So far I have no reason to complain.I read many reviews which bemoaned the fact that 303 HTFG and other protectants were nearly impossible to use outside due to the effects of even the slightest breeze on the fine mist coming from the sprayer. I had the advantage of applying the HTFG in my garage, so that wasn't an issue for me.After cleaning the top with the cleaner and a horse hair brush, I left the top to dry thoroughly in the sun. The top looked pretty good to me, but I'm not sure whether the credit lies with the cleaner or the brush.I then moved the car into the garage and used a plastic painting drop cloth with an adhesive edge to mask off the rest of the car. I sprayed the HTFG on evenly, but rather liberally. I was a bit worried about overdoing it since during the course of correspondence with a rep from the company I had been cautioned to not over apply. For that reason I decided to forego the suggestion of another reviewer of pouring the HTFG into another container and applying it with a brush. As it turns out, it is okay to do so. The rep later emailed me and confirmed that even the president of company prefers that method for protecting the top on his own car, though not with a fully laden brush. I'm going to try this method in a couple of years or so when I need to reapply, and will tap the brush on the side of the bucket to avoid over saturating the first area that the brush hits. Anyways, once the protectant was on I moved the car back into the drive so that the HTFG could dry and cure properly. The company recommends high temperatures for this part - the hotter the better.There was enough cleaner for the top on my Audi A4 that I could use it again, but shouldn't need to as long as the protectant holds out.As I mentioned above, I haven't had this protectant on long enough to judge its performance, but I was so impressed with the responsiveness of the company rep to my emailed questions that I am giving 303 HTFG the benefit of the doubt for now. It certainly looks better than when I started.I will try to update this review in a few months if I can to give a better idea of how well the fabric guard performs. In the mean time I'm going with four stars for ease of use and outstanding customer support.UPDATE: Who knew they had an edit button?Well, it's been nearly two years since I started using this product and I am still very pleased. As long as you follow the instructions it works perfectly! (Clean the top, let it dry, liberally apply the product on a hot day, only rinse the top between treatments - every complaint I read here violated one of those tenets.) I had considered using a brush to apply it, but so far I have stuck to masking the windows and body with the painters' drop cloths that have the tape on the edge and just spraying.

~IS this the best? Hmmmm.~
Wow, I just realized I purchased this a little over 2 months ago for my Eclipse Spyder and on 5/12/14, I FINALLY went through the steps to apply both products. Before making your purchase, it is recommended that you use a horsehair brush to both clean and apply the fabric guard. From reading other reviews, it is made quite clear that using a horsehair brush can be a pain. I also recommend using a microfiber cloth in case you cannot find a suitable brush for the task. When I was initially going to buy RAGGTOPP convertible kit, but it was the reviews for their horsehair brush that gave me reason to pause and search a little bit more, which is how I learned of 303. The horsehair brush worked out well for me because I had purchased one years ago at Vilanto's Menswear at Eastland Mall in Charlotte, NC, (not sure if the spot is still there) when I lived there. The owner of both the clothing & shoe store gave me some of the best advice ever: do not use shoe polish on leather shoes. Real leather does not need polish, only to be buffed to a shine. Using polish only cheapens the look, and it was a Floresheim horsehair brush that I bought and used to help clean and apply both 303 products. Amazingly, I thought that after using the brush for this project, I would not be able to use it again on my shoes. I was happily proven wrong, so now it has 2 purposes for me and I do not have to concern myself with trying to find another brush that works just as well. I waited until the weather got much warmer and while it is possible to apply these in cooler temperatures, due to my lack of experience working with something like this, I felt it prudent to wait and learn hopefully all there is to this.I simply wet the entire top with warm water and sprayed the entire top with the cleaner. Be sure to hit all the seams, as well, and there will be plenty of wiping to remove the product overspray from your windows and possibly portions of your paint when you spray your back window. I used the brush to make sure everything nook and cranny was treated and maybe I removed 3 hairs from the top. I waited 20 minutes and used a microfiber cloth to remove the cleaner. Next, I evenly sprayed the fabric guard and again, expect to spend a little more time removing any areas that the fabric guard does not need to be on. I then used the brush again to even out the spray and to be sure the top was completely covered. The instructions state the curing can take anywhere from 6-12 hours, and I calculated that since I finished around 7 in the evening, by the next morning at the same hour the fabric guard would have done its work.This is super easy to do and I did not have a water hose to use, only a big bucket of water that I did not have to change to complete this. Should you use a microfiber cloth to perform each step, be sure to use circular motions so you can really get into the grooves of the fabric and make it easier to see what areas you have touched. I hope this helps you. Thank you.

Requires a little prep-work, but the results are worth it
The media could not be loaded. After evaluating many options , I chose this product due to my past experience with 303 products. I was restoring a 20 year old convertible top that was in decent condition, but had probably never been waterproofed before. Following the simple instructions on the cleaner I washed the top and let it dry overnight. The cleaner was easy to use, foamed exceptionally well and seemed very gentle on the top. The next day I prepped the car by tapering over all the glass and painted surfaces to protect them from overspray, which I heard could be difficult to get off afterwards. I then used a tape lint roller to remove any remaining lint, or dust post washing. Finally, I sprayed the waterproofing on the top, a very simple process, and let it dry for 24 hours. The top came out looking like it was brand new and I couldn’t be happier with the results!
