Been using 303 protectant on the truck for a while now. The other day applied it to our BGE cover after giving it a good cleaning. Look how the fabric now shines and does this silky, draping thing:

Before the 303 treatment, the material had gotten almost as hard as cardboard. May have saved the cover from getting overly brittle to the touch. We'll see how she holds up from here on out. I definitely recommend. Been out there a year and a half without any protection till now.

    Thanks for sharing.  My XL cover could use some TLC.  I may have to seek some of this out and see how well it works.

    303 is great stuff, keep a couple of bottles on hand, use it on almost everything.

    Ok - before I run all over town trying to find it, where do you buy it? An auto supply store maybe?

    Farm and Fleet is the cheapest Ron.  Cheaper than the boat stores and Autozone around here.

    This stuff is great, versatile....learned about it from a pro detailer.

    So I am learning. Absolutely marvelous stuff. 303's entire array of stuff is great...including their leather preservative.

    So, I should get some and use it on my XL cover that has been draped over my fence for the past 3 years...?

    Recommend a thorough cleaning first. 303 can be spayed directly on the surface. Work in good. Dries to a nice sheen and isn't oily. Even works on leather. Course, like anything else needing protection against the elements, you'll have to re-apply periodically. Or how else would the manufacturer make a killing off the stuff?
