Convertible top care

Wondering what you guys would suggest for "PROPER" care of your convertible top? Do you use any specific products?
Thanks,
Mark

Re: Convertible top care

I use 303 convertible top care treatment.
Others swear by RaggTopp

Re: Convertible top care

I am happy w/the 303 product.

Since our tops are fabric just be sure to get a product for that material.

Some folks swear by RaggTopp while others prefer 303. Who you use is no issue as they both are good products, but just use a top conditioner for maximum life.

303 Protection 2 or 3 times a year. I have 303 cleaner, too. But never need it 'cause if you keep 303 Protection on it, NOTHING will adhere to it!

Re: Convertible top care

Just got done with my first application of 303 since I owned the car, glad to see so many use it.

Re: Convertible top care

I treat my top the week before each spring and fall dragon. Waiting for the wax to dry, then I will rub it off, put the top up (on the most beautiful day this fall) and '303' the top.
Another 303 coat will go on tomorrow afternoon as well.

Love the stuff!

Re: Convertible top care

I just treated mine today with Raggtopp and it was super easy no masking off, cleaned and treated. Looks great

Bought the Raggtopp kit online. Cleaned top yesterday, applied two coats of protectant today. It worked! We'll see how well it holds up against the sunny weather here in Las Vegas.

Re: Convertible top care

Does 303 or raggtopp helps to recover the color?

Re: Convertible top care

I use 303. With the kit, you have the cleaning bottle which will remove the dirt and grunge. Follow up with the sealant. If your top has seen a lot of sun time, it may not be able to restore the full black of the top. Others may have different experiences.
