Convertible Tops
I have had my 06 vert a little over one year. Have only used soap and water to clean it. Would like to know from our members if there are any dressings or top cleaning kits that enhance the look of the ragtop.

This stuff is fantastic 303 Fabric Protecant
When my car was a week old I treated the top, it took 1 spray can.
Well its been over 2 years and 21,000 miles and I have NOT had to clean the top, it looks new, water beads up and dirt rinses right off. This stuff is great.

The manufacturer of the top recommends RaggTopp, although people have reported success with other products.

Ragg Topp is a good product.
I use 303 Convertible Top Cleaner followed up with 303 High Tech Fabric Guard.
I apply the guard by spraying it on, then gently working it into the cloth with a new nylon bristle paint brush.

I've had my 2005 vert for almost 2 years. Other than a couple of wear marks from opening/closing, my black top is perfect. Water still beads up and I've only wiped it off with a microfiber towel while wet. Never used any soapy products and it's still looking very new. I also have it garaged so that probably helps too. Very little maintenance to date on it...knock on wood!

Oh...and your avatar is making me dizzy. Was that the wormhole that Al Gore used to report on Global Warming?
