A really good Targa top protectant

[Jims5543]

I was at a PCA Autocross last month and the guy I was course working with sold cleaning supplies to the marine industry.

We never got in touch after the event but he mentioned he had a great vinyl protectant for my Targa top.

Think about it, what is the worst enviroment for vinyl to be in? A marine one, salt water, relentless sun, and god knows what else working hard to try to destroy it.

So I headed over to the local Marine supply store. I found on the shelf an offering from 3M a vinyl protectant and treatment.

I used it on my car 3 weeks ago and it is still present after washing the car 2 times already. The vinyl is noticably softer and more supple than before the treatment and is still this way 3 weeks later.

I'll take a picture of the bottle and give you the 3M stock number this evening. Or maybe I'll run home for lunch.

Just thought I would pass this cool find on. This is probably a repost, but I searched a while back and never saw this.

Let us know what the part number is. Perhaps I can find a supplier for it and Pelican can add it to the online catalog.

Yes by all means post what this amazing stuff is. and you have my permission to go home for lunch.

I've been using Vylex since my recent recover last October, and it works OK but when you wash, it runs all over the rest of the car.
