My own experience has been frustrating trying to find info that applies to verts only and having to sift thru hundreds of posts trying to find a owner with a soft top car to chat with. Let's see if we can generate enough posts on here to make it permanent.
I've owned about twenty Vettes and only one was a coupe. When I was looking for my current '14 Z51 3LT M7 MRC roadster, I was flexible on the color but the manual roadster was the only car I considered.
Help me make this work!

I cleaned and treated my 17 Z51 vert this past Friday. I used the 303 products and I am extremely pleased with how the job turned out. I bought my car in Feb as a CPO. It had set on the lot for a long time being exposed to the Outer Banks weather. I did not realize how dirty the top was until I cleaned it and saw it dry. The 303 products are very easy to use. There are a number of YouTube videos which demonstrate variations for applying the protectant. They were helpful in keeping down the collateral mess caused by spraying product on the top.

I have only had my car for a month but cleaned the top for the first time last week. I just followed the owners manual. Mild soap and used the pressure washer on a very low output setting and did not force any water into the fabric, essentially just wetting it and spraying it off. Let it air dry and it looks great. Was surprised how much cleaner it looked even though the only time I see it is when the car is parked inside the garage.

I've used both raggtopp and 303 and been very happy with both. Anyone with a convertible should use one of the kits.

Tried a hand wash "auto spa" today. No appointment necessary, in and out in 30 minutes. Some quickie pics. Good job done. Car has a ceramic coating and scotchguard on the top.
