Convertable Top
Hi All,
I have a 2001 Vert with a sable (tan) top. It is in good shape and I want to put some kind of conditioner on her; any recommendations? Also I have Ivory leather interior. Anyone know where I can get a Leather Dye to match?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, 303 products are great.. They have a fabric cleaner and a fabric protector not to be confused with the 303 rubber protector(best ever), you can buy it on Ebay in a kit for the two unit, even amazon sells it. Ebay they are many sellers, I buy it by the gallon.(best prices) Just google 303 products.
Also you can find a company who sells dye for leather they are in the UK. It takes a couple of weeks to receive but it is the best available, they have several products and kits in different sizes. I bought the middle size 250 ml , the color adjusters, glaze additive and cleaners. Look thru out their site and see the different products. If you are going to dye the leather might as well do it right. Not a hard job but takes several steps. Don't forego the cleaners and some 1800 grit sand paper, very important if you want dye to say and not rub off, it is not the product, it is the preparation that makes the difference
Here is their web site www.bespokeleathering.com
Here is a Ebay auction site for 250 ml

I used RaggTop and Sunbrella 303 and if I were to do it again I would use RaggTop. However that is my opinion and the choice is yours. This is a link to my results and process JagRepair.com - Jaguar Repair Information Resource I hope this helps.

Based on previous recommendations here, I used a 16-ounce spray bottle of 303 fabric protectant in early April. Waited for a warm, sunny day with no chance of rain, blocked off the windows with scrap bath towels, and sprayed every drop of the product over the entire top surface using multiple light coats instead of one heavy coat. Took me about ten minutes or so. I then let it soak into the fabric in full sunlight for several hours as prescribed. The 303 product is still holding up very well with water continuing to bead just as it did after initial application back in early April. In our neck of the woods, I expect to do this annually....
