Just wondering what people use to keep their soft tops clean and not faded looking. It seems like mine is dried out or something. I just bought my s2000 and its looking kinda faded..

 

Raggtop or 303 Aerospace.

You can get either one from the Wash and Wax sponser DetailersDomain and get 10% off for being S2ki.

I prefer Raggtop because it does not run/bleed as much when it rains. Get the Vinyl kit.

 

I used Meguires Boat top protectant. I put it on in December / January of 2007. The water still beads up.

 

Cool! thanks guys ill get right on that

 

I did a write up on the Megs stuff I used, but the search is broken again so I can't look it up.

 

The search is broken, but you can still find things. Here is the write up I did on the mags product.

Keep in mind, the protectant that Garret used is not *technically* made for our type of top. He's had tremendous luck with it however. I don't recall it darkening the top back up much though.

Also, it is a protectant, not a cleaner. 303 and/or Raggtop have cleaners that help clean and darken the top. Then you follow with their protectant which darkens the top.

If you really wanted to go nuts, you would clean it with Raggtop or 303, then protect with the same, then top THAT with the canvas spray Garret suggested. You might never be able to reapply anything again after that, since the beading lasts forever.

 

I have been using 303 Aerospace also for a few years, great product.
