Default UV Protectant For Roll Bar Fabric?

Is there such a thing? I don't think I have seen anyones roll bar padding fade, but if it does I would like to take preventative measures.

There are products marketed for outdoor furniture. Ray Bloc is one. Just go on Amazon or google and search for UV fabric protection. Lots of things available.

Look at 303 also- sold at camping world as well as Amazon. Made for outdoor furniture and RV sunshades.

I've definitely seen faded rollbar padding and it looks bad.

303 Fabric Protectant is what you want.

x2 on the purple-ish grey color but now I just leave mud stains on it all year round and I don't notice the fading any more lol BUT now I'm thinking if I should start using something on my dirty dog netting its black as well.... Haven't noticed any fading or at least the purple-ish grey color anyways in three years and I run no rear windows(3) 6-7 months a year so it's always exposed.

X3, Aerospace 303 Fabric UV Protectant. Sold at any Marine outlet or Walmart. Keeps the roll bar covers nice and black (not purplish). Works on all fabrics and black plastic fenders and bumpers. I've used it for years on my soft top, fabric motorcycle jacket, duffel bag. Works on my tent's rain fly also. No fading. About $18 or so for a 32 fluid ounce spray bottle.

I use aerospace 303 on my fenders, but it doesn't say for use on fabric. Is the fabric protectant a different formula?
