Default C3 Convertible top protector

Looking for recommendations on what to use as a PROTECTANT (not cleaner) on my convertible top. AI said Armor All is OK, then another AI said mixed results with the Armor All long term. What do the car show guys use on there C3 Stafast Vinyl tops to keep it looking new

? Thanks for your help.

Running the hard top on mine currently. The soft top needs replaced (new one the the box, but rear window may now be shot due to age), so I want to know the same once I do. Curious to see what others say.

I did two cars with the rag top product. I believe they sell their top cleaner in a kit with the protectant. To be safe, I put taped / kraft paper on windows and body to make sure the protectant didn’t get on the paint or windows.
