RTT pvc cover care

[syke]

Quick question.. does anyone have any care instructions for a pvc rtt cover? I'm running an old Autohome overland with about 15 plus years of southwest sun on it. The pvc cover is starting to get brittle and I really would like to apply some magic product to recondition it. Wishful thinking? I have an message into Autohome so we'll see if they suggest anything. Thanks for the help guys.

The above is the marine version, maybe a little more heavy duty than the regular one I use.
I do not have a soft top roof top tent, I have a hard one.
But I have years experience with this stuff, just used it an hour ago on my interior of my FJ Cruiser.
You can use it on all of the door weather seals too.

I have used it for years on the vinyl case for my Campinglabs awning, and it has kept it looking like new since 2008.
I recently switched to the Eezi-Awn Bat 270 awning which also has a vinyl case, and I am using it on it too.

Give it a try, I am sure you will like it as much as I do.
It keeps the UV rays at bay.

PS, here is the regular version I have used for years.

Excellent info Corey. I really appreciate it. So I stopped by the boat upholstery shop today.... $275 and I'll have a new cover in two weeks. After further inspection my current cover was just to far gone. Lesson learned.... I will be using 303 from here on out. Thanks again for turning me onto the product.

Side note... the boat guys swear by the 303 products.

Thanks, and you are welcome.
Glad to hear the shop likes it as much as I do too.

Not sure where I learned about it, probably on one of the forums I am on, but the stuff is great.
Like I mentioned, I do the whole interior with it too including the steering wheel.
I try to apply it about every three weeks or so when I clean vacuum out the interior.

A new cover will be nice for sure for your tent.

Yep 303 works as desired. That is what my dealer recommended for my FWC popup and it works great. They make a cleaner that works good too. I buy mine at Cabela's

I cannot recommend this stuff enough! I use it religiously on the interior of all my cars and the plastic/rubber on the exterior of my cars. The stuff is seriously awesome.
