Yes. Same original application from 2017.

I followed the cleaning/prep directions in the kit. I used the 303 cleaner from the kit after I did a soap-n-water wash. That and a good lint-rollering before the wash and again before applying the 303.

I used a mini paint roller kit ($8 Walmart variety) and rolled it on. Lint roller is huge as the 303 sealer will glue down/seal in anything you leave on or in the fabric. Links in this thread. The one bottle will do two coats on the top. Whatever you do, don't spray it. It's like clear coat paint and will be a huge pita to get off the paint. Keep a microfiber towel handy to catch drips down the windows, etc.

The Mistress is a show/weekend/cruise-in car. 9k miles. Not driven in rain unless I get caught out (which has been only 4 times in 4 years). Top is only up when it's garaged or parked so it doesn't see weather. So I'm at the far right end of the "DD <-- --> garage queen" spectrum.

If you daily-drive your vert and park in the sun, you might need to reapply every 6-12mo. Your mileage, as they say, may vary.
