Default New C5 owner

As new new C5 convertible owner I would like to see this forum fly. I have a question especially for those that have owned a convertible for a long time. What do you use to treat and maintain the top? Thanks in advance.

Congratulations, it looks well cared for. As far as the top goes IMHO if you garage the car then soap, and water will do the trick. If it's outside you may want to use a good cleaner/protectant like Raggtop or 303. Enjoy, and I hope you get many smiles to the miles.

Very nice Ron. I was so close to buying a '96 last year. But those things are so hard to enter/exit I new it would tough for my bride. Nerve damage in her back from a wreck several years back just wouldn't allow for me to own one. Enjoy,and according to an exhaustive study you bought the fastest color.
