Default Convertible Top: Fabric or Vinyl?

Hello crossfire roadster owners,
My father purchased one of these roadsters for christmas. His birthday is this month and so I would like to buy him some convertible cleaner and protectant as his gift.

It looks like fabric, but the reason I ask is I have a 350z roadster whose top also feels and appears fabric but is in fact vinyl (so I had to get the corrresponding cleaner/protectant).
I use 303 convertible top cleaner and 303 aerospace protectant.

1) Is the crossfire top fabric or vinyl?
2) What cleaner/protectant do you recommend on your softtops. Raggtop or 303?
Thanks!

It's fabric and I recommend Raggtop. I use it and it lasts a long time.

You can't go wrong with either Ragg Topp, 303 or Meguiar's Canvas Cleaner & Protectant from their Marine line. All very similar, and very good, products.

Haven't used Ragg topp yet, but I have used 303. Once a year (when I put it up for the winter) I wash the top well, let it dry and spray on 303. I've had folks comment on the tops new look, so that was reason enough for me to continue with it, plus I can get it a local store.
