Now that pollen season is finally over, my black soft top is looking a little dingy in the fabric. I've washed it w/soap and water but don't know if thats the best thing for it. Are there any cleaner/conditioner type products that will protect it and make it last for nearly eternity? (cause I can't afford to replace it ;-)

I use nothing but RAGGTOPP cleaner and protectant. It will get off the road grime and pollen and then the protectant saves you a lot of time later because the water just beads up on the top and rinses off all dust, etc.

RaggTopp works great on my light oak top.
 
Although I don't own a convertible, I've heard from many convertible owners that RaggTopp is the best on the market.

I'm curious- can it be purchased retail, or do you need to go to their website to buy it?

can you get it from ecklers or Mid America?

Mid america is the place to go ....the entire kit for cleaning your top cost about $25.00 or less...

I agree. It even brought back my white top. Just make sure you buy the right kit, there is one for vinyl and one for cloth.

Any suggestions on what to use on black coth tops where the black is lightly in the areas that rub when down? The materials is not worn. I have been dabbing with liguid shoe polish but after a wash its gone.


Thanks.
