      Aerospace 303 will give some UV protection, but for cleaning a mild soap is all you need.

          I think I got my bottle at West Marine, but probably anywhere else is less expensive. Put "marine" on anything and its at least a 50% markup. I bought that bottle a few years ago, so I haven't done any shopping around but I bet amazon has it.

              I bought mine direct from Aerospace 303. It was less expensive from the source than Amazon.

                + 1 on above. Go to Aerospace 303 on line. They have a sample pack of a bunch of their products available for $7.00. It is worth it to try it out, then buy what works best for you.

                          I wouldn't.

                          On my original top before it was replaced I used armor all one time and I kid you not it had more spits in it then it did the day before.

                          I am another 303 fanatic. Expensive...maybe, but so is replacing the top. Use the right product and you will save money.

                              I also use 303 but have also used silicone depending on the condition of the vinyl. Used silicone on my interior and tops for decades before 303.
                              Never used any harmeral or other such products. The thing with silicone is finding pure silicone. Most that you find has other petrolium chemicals in it that will harm vinyl and other plastics. Often pure silicone will restore some more severe dammage. There is no mirical product though
