New guy has a question
Hi everyone, I am new here and a 1st time convertible owner. I have a question to all you convertible owners, what do you guys use to clean and protect your tops. I have a '94 and the top looks almost brand new and I want to keep it that way. Let me know what you use. Thanks

303 Protectant is a common choice. We used it on Bimini tops on boats and it helps keep them in good shape sitting in the sun. Eventually they will all break down, but a good uv Protectant helps to prolong their lives.
FWIW, car tops last much longer than boat Bimini tops.

I've found 303 to perform a bit better than Ragg Topp.
They make a kit with cleaner and protectant.
I wash the car and use the cleaner with a soft brush to activate.
Allow to completely dry.
Vacuum.
Tape and mask off, then apply protectant via directions.
