Bimini / Boat cover sealer?

[agarabaghi]

Whats a good product to restore the water beading ability for my cover. Its made from sunbrella so it is similar to a bimini top on a boat?

303 fabric guard works great and it's the only one sunbrella recommends. I use it on patio furniture and convertible tops.

I just posted a review on the new Marine 31 Fabric Guard with Sunblock. I really liked it and am waiting to see how it holds up.

I went with the 303 as there is still warranty on the cover.

303 is really good stuff, you won't be dissapointed!

Recently did my black 22' boat cover. I first cleaned the cover using 303 Fabric/Vinyl Cleaner using a scrub brush to gently aggitate. I then applied 303 High Tech Fabric Guard. Took 48oz to fully treat the cover. Loved how it turned out.

Oh man, I only got a 32oz bottle. Well the marine store sells them.

It took way more product than I planned as well. The next time I do it, I will pour all the product into a pressure sprayer (like a bug sprayer) and use that. My fingers were tired from all the trigger pulling applying the product.

If your sunbrella is less than 5 years old only use the 303 protectant to keep your warranty. Make sure to clean it before using the fabric guard. Since yours still has a warranty and you probably only need a light cleaning the 303 fabric cleaner would work well. If you have heavy soiling or stains refer to the stain chart on Sunbrella's website.
