Anyone here notice that their soft top is no longer "black" as it used to be? Whats a good thing to use to restore it and keep the plastic rear window clear? I hear plexus is good for the rear window but where can u pick it up around here? I heard just soap and water is good enough for the soft top but it doesnt get it any more "black"....any ideas?

 

Yeah, same here and I have my 02 with glass window but the black top just don't seem to be as black as before.

 

How bout just a product? Is there a product that will restore the black?? Does anyone reccomend anything??

 

I use low gloss ArmourAll on it twice a year. Works pretty good. Some folks here prefer 303 Protectant. The choice is yours.

 

But I thought Armour All is bad for your car???

 

I've heard this rumour too but I've done about 3 applications on it so far and it seems to be holding up OK. The top gets blacker afterwards and stays for a few months. You better go with what you're comfy with. What have you heard, specifically?

 

I havnt heard anything at all....thats why im asking you guys.....

I'll do a bit more research but if not, then I'll give Armour All a try

 

....I use the soft top cleaner available from the Porsche dealer in town (recommended some time ago by someone in the general S2KI community) and it works great. It was a bit pricey but should last quite a while. They also sell a protectant spray that I use. After I use them the top is as black as the day I got the car.

....I'd guess that our top isn't the exact material that you would find on a Porsche but I have used their product for a year now and I am more than satisfied with the results. I'm sure there are other shampoos that work just as well...if you find one please pass along the info.
