Everyone recommends aerospace 303 and raggtopp. 303 does run and leaves some wierd streaks on your windows. I haven't used raggtopp. 303 can be found in boating and marine stores or you can order it online or ebay. For some reason, kragen doesn't sell it.

I've been using Vinylex for the last few years and am happy with it. You can buy it from Pep Boys and possibly also Kragen. If you put a lot, I'd suggest leaving the top up for about one day so it can dry and won't leave smears on the rear window.

I have used Raggtopp cleaner and protectant and am extremely pleased with it. It doesn't leave any streaks, dries quick, and leaves the top looking great.

Raggtop treatment + Hartop = NO WEAR! I wish I had enough cheddar for a HT!

I say go with Raggtop. It's meant for convertible tops, as opposed to 303 which is a general purpose vinyl protectant. Raggtop won't run or leave streaks; the cleaner from Raggtop is also excellent. There are plenty of opinions in the Wash & Wax forum, do a search or two.

Is Raggtop sold in stores? Or is one of the products you have to mail order. (I've looked for it in some auto parts stores - no joy
