Pick up some Meguiar's M71 Canvas Cleaner and M72 Canvas Protectant a boating supply store near you, like West Marine, Boater's World, etc. Every bit as good as RaggTopp (which is excellent stuff by the way) but locally available.

when shopping for cleaning/protectant products you'll have the choice of fabric or vinyl. Always choose fabric as that is the material on the xfire.

I used the Meguiar's canvas cleaner & protectant - good results. I got them at auto paint store - Listen to Mike - he wouldn't do you wrong
