Default top cleaner

What do you guys use to clean your top? I search around checkers and auto zone couldnt find anything. Is there a local shop or anything around here that carry products to clean tops?

thank you
Roger

Soon after I got my car, I applied Raggtop Protectorant. This is stuff is, bar none, the best top protectorant you can buy, better than, for example, the very expensive Porsche stuff, and a lot less money. Even though the car was virtually new, the top got a lot darker and blacker after I put the Raggtop Protectorant on, and it shedded water like a duck's back.

Now, I just use my boar hair brush and Poorboy's Super Slick and Suds wash just like I do on the rest of the car. The top is always in beautiful condition and there is no sign of fading or discoloration. IMO, and judging by my experience, there is no need for a special cleaner.

So where do you get this protectant. I'd like to put a few coats on my top.

http://www.autogeek.net/vicotopmapr.html or several other places online. I have not found it local. 303 can be found local and it works well.

RaggTopp is the best stuff ever. Roger, they make a cleaner as well if your top is dirty. Clean it then apply the protectant and you'll never clean it again. I re-apply once a year, top is showroom new!

Just Google RaggTopp

Which version of RaggTopp applies to our cars? All I saw was vinyl and our tops are not vinyl.
