Whitworths or Bias Boating also carry 303.

In my opinion the 303 stuff is about the same as Armoural.

Armoural leaves the roof black and shiny, where as 303 leaves it black with less of a shine to it.

Both products i've found leave marks on the windows after it has rained.

hehehe, I was waiting for your response Drew!

I'm not sure what you did wrong, but when I used 303 on the recommendation of a few lads here, I had no streaking or problems, so not sure if that was the OLD armourall you had still left on the roof before you applied the 303? I reckon give it another couple of shots, I think you'll find the streaking stops.

hehehe and i was wating for you reply to my reply.

Yeah i was thinking that there could be some old product left on my roof which could be the case. Think it would of been about 8 weeks between the application of the Armoural and the 303.

I think that washing my car more than once a month would also lessen the streaks on the windows :mrgreen:

I've used the 303 and Mother's Soft top Protectant (both sourced from the local SuperCheap). No streaking with either. Then again my streaking isn't particularly pretty!

Cheers,
