Default Top cleaner anyone?

Anyone have reccomendations on a top cleaner for my S2k? I've heard 303 is the best but can't find it locally; all they sell is the plastic protectant. I would like to wash it tomorrow and give it a real good shine but I'm worried about the top. (This is my first soft top car).

Any marine supply store i.e., boater's world etc. carries 303. This is the best for cleaning and preserving an S2K top.

Oh ACE Hardware has it too. It's not cheap, about $15 a 16oz bottle.

Chilibeanz, I thought they only carried the plastic cleaner stuff? I've never been, just guessing based on 303's website saying that's all they carried.

Broke down last week and got some Raggtopp cleaner and protector through a shop on linebaugh. (I can't remember the name). It came out the under $30. The top looks brand new. I really can't believe how well this stuff works. I'll get some pics this weekend.

Don't mind the wrinkles in the first pic. I shot these when I got home from work and I like to ride topless from work. Anyways, I used the cleaner and protector on Friday and it has gotten rained on the last two days. Still looks good imo.

^Yep, I got the Vinyl version. Works awesome. Even after it rains on it and dries, it still looks good.
