Vert Top Dressing
I've always had coupes up until today and I bought a new vert, black top - I was wondering if there are any special cleaning tips or dressings that will keep it looking new. It's always garaged. Thanks for any advice

Raggtopp.
After cleaning make sure it is 100% dry! Wait at least over night to dry.
Drape off car with sheet to avoid over spray of protectant.

Ragtopp and 303 Protectant both offer a great two step system to keep tops new and extremely water resistant. Watch the video's as quite easy to do at home. One small hint, make sure roof is completely dry before using the protectant for best outcome. (two light coats work better than one also).

One one of those sticky roller lint removers works great to take off any fuzz that gets on the top. I keep one in one of the cubbies in the trunk.

I used to be a Ragg Top guy. The Aerospace 303 is easier to use, cheaper and lasts longer. IMO

Thanks, looks like it's easier to find too. My local "Eastern Mountain Sports" store carries it in stock...
