Sorry, I missed the Canadian Address. They don't ship to Canada. I have a friend just across the border that I have my orders shipped to.

Do some searching for 303. Someone in Ontario found a local supplier for the stuff.

I recently cleaned mine up again...

You need :
- 3'x 20' plastic painter's tarp
- tape
- 2 x Formula 303 Fabric Guard spray
- Haartz vert top cleaner spray


Here's what I do :

1) Hose off the top.

2) Use the Haartz top cleaner and use your fingertips to massage the top. Rinse. Repeat.

3) Let the top dry in direct sunlight until BONE DRY. Try to keep as much dust and stuff off as possible while drying.

4) Take a brush tip attachment and carefully vacuum the top. Use small "smushes" and don't rake the vacuum across the top of the car (could wear/frizz the fibers).

5) Use the plastic and tape to cover the ENTIRE car except the top. I raise the top and put the plastic under it, same with the trunk and doors. Also make sure to cover the rear window well.

6) Spray the Formula 303 protectant evenly over the entire top - putting on a good coat should use two cans/spray bottles. One can/bottle just isn't enough IMHO.

7) Let it dry 24 hrs. before putting the top down or getting the top wet.

It should now bead water like new and the top should have a nice dark color to it like when it was new.

You can find the Haartz cleaner and 303 Fabric Guard here :

Good luck !
