I believe the car paint is, but it is the sealed with another product and in many if not all baked on

I have used the 303 Fabric Guard on my 1999 Puck. Applied it in situ after giving the poptop a good clean to remove any grime. Not too much trouble and it does a good job.

Hi Brian, did you remove the canvas? I'm just after feedback as someone else said it might not be necessary interested to know your thoughts glad it worked out well, mine is really repellant now, and I'm so pleased I took the time to do it

Many thanks Brian, as I say just interested, different schools of thought on whether to remove the canvas or not, I'm not sure myself whether it's necessary but I was worried about the "303 does'nt like fibreglass" comments on the bottle and from something I read elsewhere

Glad you achieved your aim though, well done

Isn't modern car paint now water based along with many other types?

I may be wrong but apparently its just the base coat that's water based on modern cars, the primers and clear are still 2 pack , When this paint is being sprayed, the spray can be considered as dangerous as cyanide gas.......

Yes you are right about been careful not to get the 303 on the fibreglass, its on the back of the bottle. Basically It should not get into contact with any plastics or rubber.

I can't open that link to Crow's comments in the first thread, but I have used Fabsil each year and to no problem so far.

Thanks and haven't seen any negative reasons on Fabsil.

I think the 303 bonds with the sunbrella fabric where the Fabsil merely coats it.
If I was doing this job (which is lets face it a once every decade type of job) I would
buy the best which in my opinion would be the 303.
