Which Soft Top Cleaner/Protector?
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but a can't find a quick answer, so apologies if I've missed something.
Which soft-top cleaner and protector comes recommended? I see 303 Aerospace is in the FAQ's, but does anybody have experience of other brands? So, there is RaggTopp, AutoGlym and a whole host of other cleaning products and protecting products.
Who uses what, and what are your experiences? Seperate cleaner and protector, or all-in-one combined product?
For info, this is my first convertible car. Any advice and suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers

Don't know, really, but go here: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/forum/15-s2000-wash-and-wax/ and type "roof" into the search box and you'll see many threads extolling the virtues of many products.

I use the 303 products and it brings the soft top up amazingly - like new. It can be messy stuff tho so don't get it on your paintwork or glass. There is a how to somewhere on here... The manufacturer suggests letting the product soak in a bit then buff off to help the bonding process... I have just done mine ahead of the winter and it does look great.

Edit to previous post: I use a separate cleaner and protector. I have read that a light soapy solution also works instead of the 303 cleaner which would prob work out cheaper...

For cleaning, I just use a citrus degreaser and an interior brush. Once scrubbed in, rinse with a hose or low pressure washer.
I have tried Gtechnic I1 for protection. It's very good to start with, but doesn't seem to bond very well, so the protection doesn't last longer than maybe a month.

Fabsil seems to be pretty good. I can normally apply it in about 10 minutes and the water beading lasts for about 3-4 months.
