Gnaggreeng2, good to hear - and welcome! Thanks for making your first C5 post here in the vert forum.

Can you post pics of your ride?

Btw, I think I see a fridge in your future. ;-)

Also when applying the 303 take care to not get it on the paint or windows and if you do clean it off before it dries. It is hard to remove when it dries.

Back on the parade topic, what if the kids stay seated on the top of the backseats and the support just behind the top of the backseats and not the toneau cover, I dont see how that can damage the car.

Berryp · 09-18-2011, 10:49 PM

What kind of car wash do you use on the paint?

Augie1978 · 09-20-2011, 07:33 AM

I use Adams.

Berryp · 09-20-2011, 12:36 PM

I treated the top of my convertible top with 303 this past weekend.

Now if we could go only get a good Texas thunderstorm.

You may not see damage until afterwards - that's the problem. Not to mention safety. But it's a free country, as some people say.

I havent been asked yet to drive it in a parade, like a homecoming parade, may have to pass jsut to be safe.
