Does anybody have a cure for scorched tops on boat cushions?

... 303 Aerospace Protectant is the best UV shield available. If it is already cracking it may be too late. If it is just starting to dry out, try saturating the affected areas with 303 or similar product and let it soak in as opposed to rubbing it in right away. Do this a couple of times and give it the old pinch test. When/If it starts to feel supple again apply one last time with a good rag. Good luck.

Had the covers on and they made it much worse. Actually lightened up when we took them off. Don't want t boat house.
Thanks for suggestions all!

Where can you get that product?

The best way is to keep the boat out of the elements, but I'm sure you know that. I dry store my equipment in a large garage when its not in use, and the difference is amazing. That said, I agree with Lifer and 303 is your best option if you must leave your boat in a harsh environment...you can probably get it at the Cathouse.

I sold out this week but will reorder soon. You can order it off the internet for about 55-60 bucks a gallon, but it is about 15-18 a quart trigger bottle, so the gallon is the best buy and will last for several years of normal use. If you are close by and can, bring the boat by the Cathouse and let me have a look at it. I know some tricks. I can also order you a gallon of the 303 for about the same price but I dont charge shipping. Just let me know. You can call at 256-825-3388.
