my top is almost always down with the boot over it, so i have not done much to it (in a year and a half)...
remember that it is vinyl, so a product like vinylex is appropriate.
when i wash the car, i am careful not to get the top wet- if i had the top up then i guess i would wash the top and treat with vinylex...

 

The Lexyol product works well,just don't use to much because when you wash the car it gets all over the paint(you really notice it on black paint)I apply it about once a month with nice results.You can purchase it at Pep Boys

 

Aerospace 303 Protectant. Get the vinyl convertible top kit that includes the cleaner.

 

now the million dollar question. where do i get Aerospace 303 Protectant from?
thanks!

Do a search in this forum on it, or search on the web. In the end, I downloaded an order form from their website and ordered it via snail mail. They haf a special going on if you bought it direct.

I seem to remember someones post saying 303 can be purchased at boating supply stores.

 

I applied 303 to my soft top for the first time about 6 weeks ago (after taking the hardtop off for summer) and am very happy with the results. It leaves the roof a nice dark colour and seems to help reisist stains (e.g. bird lime). Following other users advice I applied it using a foam applicator rather than the spray bottle to stop overspray settling on windows and paintwork - it doesn't do any harm but it looks messy!

I got mine from www.autodetail.com and found their service to be excellent (very quick delivery to this side of the Atlantic )

 

I use the Porsche top shampoo and protectant, which most dealers carry.

 

303 can be purchased at most boating stores and most motorcycle shops also carry it.

I use Wolfsteins Raggtopp protectent, but have seen very good results with 303
