seefke 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 I have a 2008 cr250 and was wondering on the best way to clean the cockpit cover. Also after cleaning should I put a coat of 303 fabric guard on it. The cover has a tag on it stating it was made by taylor made. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rip5 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2014 Seems like what Ameritex recommends would be what you should do. http://ameritexfabrics.com/caretips_canvas.html Yes, use 303 as needed after cleaning and drying is complete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rip5 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2014 Have not been over to that side of the state with our boat, We have friends that boat there often. We do need to get over there one of these days, but the lakes in Northern Michigan are so nice, we trailer up there quite a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine was made by Taylor and is Sunbrella material. You can got to their web site for info. They say to use 303 fabric cleaned then the fabric protector. I lean with those and after the protection I apply 303 UV protector. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting, I'm sure it helps with slow fading. Does the water still bead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've done it both ways, UV first then the protectant and the other way around protectant then waterproofing and the water beads up just fine both ways. I added the protectant after the waterproofing because I didn't have any protectant on hand the day I was cleaning the cover and my parts store is 27 miles away and I didn't want to take the time off of my project to do the driving that day.
