Default Convertable top protection
I'm new to convertables so what is the best way to care for a 2019 Corvette .Also when throwing a fleece lined cover over the top should anything be thrown on top of the roof first?

I just did my ‘13 vert using the RaggTopp kit and it is amazing! Water beads now. Vacuum it, rinse it and scrub it with the spray cleaner and brush gently. Rinse again and let dry. I was able to do 3 coats of the sealant letting dry about 15 minutes between coats. Tim

there is a RaggTopp brush that came in my kit that is designed for rag tops, that is what I used. Autogeek number ID: RT-PKIT-6 . They also included a spray bottle of the 303 interior/exterior protectant that is great. Tim
