Wow! I’m 67 yo grandmother & I cleaned & treated my top with this with ease, ‘05 Mustang. Bought the kit, Cleaner & Fabric Guard, & 1 extra bottle of the Guard bc some said not enough. Because it’s breezy, don’t want overspray, I used 4” & 1” paintbrushes, 3 coats, & still have some left in the first bottle. Cleaned, dried, applied Fabric Guard in carport, then dried ea coat in the sun abt 2 hrs, 3 days sunny weather, let it cure for an extra day. Rinsed pollen off this morning-first wetting. Very well pleased. Looks new. Not a chore at all, enjoyed doing it.
I'm disappointed in the performance of 303 Fabric Guard (30607) on the top of my 2017 Ford Mustang convertible. I expected water to bead on the fabric, much like water beads on the painted surfaces of my car. I expected that water would not soak onto the fabric. And the product met expectations for the 1st minute or so of exposure to water. But, after driving less than 5 miles in a heavy rain, the water did not bead and water appeared to have soaked into the fabric.
I applied this product in full sun, with air temperatures in the upper 70's to low 80's, using a pump sprayer, until the fabric was evenly wet / damp. The convertible wasn't exposed to water for 3 days after application.
I bought 2 gallons of this expensive stuff & treated my car top & my boat canvas with it. I expect the boat canvas will see similarly disappointing performance when it's exposed to rain.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The product may be acceptable but the spray bottles are terrible. Get your stuff together and design a dispenser that does not seize up or leak or just stop working.

After years of using with pleasure, not happy now!

A few years ago, the manufacturer of our Saab convertible top (Haartz corporation) advised me to use the 303 Fabric Cleaner and Fabric Guard for maintaining the convertible top.
From that moment on, I only used the 303 products for our Saab’s convertible topping. Brilliant products during the years. With great results in cleaning and protecting. Unfortunately until now…..
About five weeks ago, I cleaned and protected the fabric of our Saab as I usually do. For ‘guarding’ the convertible top, I opened a new bottle of Fabric Guard (32fl. oz)/ 946 ml) and ‘guarded’ the fabric. After two weeks of sometimes a bit rain, the fresh Fabric Guard was not doing anymore what I experienced during the years from the product: guarding the top from water. So, I cleaned the convertible topping again and used the left over other half of the new bottle of Fabric Guard.
The first week after ‘guarding’ the fabric with 303 Fabric Guard, it rained a bit and the product was doing its job well. The third week after applying the 303 Fabric Guard, it rained a few days and I was wondered about the poor protecting quality again from the Fabric Guard. Perhaps a silly thing to ask, but is the formula of ingredients changed from the current 303 Fabric Guard product line? Or is the bottle I use from a production line with a faulty guarding formula.
All with all, I am not happy and satisfied with the result now. If the bottle of 303 Fabric Guard that I used really represents the current formula of guarding, I am afraid that I am going to search for another 'guarding' product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I sprayed my Sunbrella fabric with Fabric Guard 303 and let it air dry under the sun. It has left huge stain marks all over the cushion. I'm not sure if I over applied? How do I wash the fabric to remove the stain marks caused by the Fabric Guard?
Response from goldeagle.comBy Products Support, Customer Support, January 30, 2018
Thank you for taking the time to let us know of your less than satisfactory experience. There are a few reasons as to why stains could happen after application. The most common ones are that the material had residue from a previous cleaner/detergent, or the cushions are stuffed with a material that negatively reacted to the product, or that too much product was used and did not cure properly (over-saturation). The best way to clean the cushions is to machine wash them. If the inside material (foam, cotton, etc.) was affected, wash that separately with non-residue soap such as dish soap. When the material has completely dried, it is safe to try again. Remember, only a light coating is needed to ensure a fast curing process and effectiveness. If there any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact us at producttechsupport@goldeagle.com
Used on my convertible top. It went on easy. I sprayed it as directed. Many on auto forums say the use a roller to apply. Don't by into if some is good more is better mentality. It works just fine when used as directed. Now I plan on doing my other convertible. I just need to by more product. I think I'm going to do a YouTube video with a follow up, to show how it holds up.
