Convertible top question
Has anyone seen a product called Ragtop for cleaning and protecting the fabric on a convertible? Have not been able to find it in a auto parts store, only on line.

It's actually called RaggTopp and I've not seen it available in any of my local stores either. Only on-line. I'd be interested to hear if it is available in stores too.

Yes, I use it - great product. I haven't seen it in any of the local auto parts stores. Autogeek.net and I think several other of the Forum vendors here carry it. Also, the Corvette Store at the NCM did carry it. The RaggTopp cleaner can be used for either fabric or vinyl tops. They make two types of protectant, one for fabric and one for vinyl. I've been buying RaggTopp in the twin pack which contains both the cleaner and protectant. There have been a number of threads about RaggTopp in the Car Care Products Forum where you may be able to find more on it. Good luck.

I found it locally here while participating in a Corvette Show in Greenwood, IN. You may want to call "Wolfsteins Pro-Series" at 800.377.4700. That is the manufacturer's name on the brochure I have. They may be able to tell you who carries it in your local area. The outlet here is Paul's Glass & Accessories. Good luck.

Got mine from AutoGeek. After the first application of the protectant, I was shocked at the way the water beaded and rolled off the next time I washed. Makes the top look great again, although I still am having trouble with the greasy finger prints left by a careless mechanic. They seem to go away during the wash, but dust seems to settle in on them as time goes on.

I spent 6 hours detailing the wifes car and a week later the car went into the dealers for an hour. There were greasey boot prints all over the sill and door. Not good for public relations. Good luck with the grease spots.

In Charlotte, NC it can be purchased at Kee Auto Top 800-438-5934 for $25.00 which includes both the Cleaner and Protectant. You may want to try some local Auto Top places. Works great on my 2004 MSG
