Beingst that I dunked my NRS drytop in the salt (twice), and have rinsed it pretty well in warm water and allowed it to dry, what other preventative measures should I take to keep it looking sharp and functioning correctly? 

I have read chat about 303, and there seems to be several 303 products out there.   What am I looking for, and best way to apply?

I just rinse mine with the hose.  Every few uses I give the latex seals a shot of 303 Drysuit Gasket Cleaner.   ;)  Actually, I use the General Aerospace Protectant.  This is to keep the seals from drying out and tearing.  Once a year I give it a hand wash in soap made for goretex cleaning.

I soak inside & out in fresh water, then I use a wetsuit/drysuit shampoo from mcnett and hand wash, then rinse with fresh. Mirazime works well for removing stink.

303 or seal saver on the gaskets every so often will keep them from cracking and drying.

and zip wax on zippers will keep them sliding.

What all those guys said. Also make sure to store it in a cool room away from the sun to make it last a bit longer.
