New Vert top Care?
I'm having a new convertible top being installed. Should I clean and condition it right away?

be 100 percent sure that your top is very very dry after u wash it before u seal it or it will mildew under the sealer and ruin your new top...

I would apply RaggTopp protectant to it. That way you preserve it like new always.

Raggtop
If you for some reason can't do it initially, don't worry about it. It will come with some protectant already on it. I washed the car right after my install 6 months ago and it beaded water off it like it had wax on it. Raggtop will do the same thing

The installer may have some suggestions on treating the new top.

Another vote for ragtopp. I waited 24 hrs for the first step to fully dry.
