Hello.

You didn't specify what you are using it on. If it is on the factory S2000 soft top...yes you can (and very recommended)...just not on the window (either glass or vinyl). http://www.autogeek.net/32ozsize.html

Another great product is Ragg Topp: http://www.autogeek.net/rafaca.html

I disagree with 06 and agree with hecash.

If you want to protect the top, you need the bottle with the blue label. (Sorry for the large image size, but that's what they have on their site.)

...hmmm...I'm confused then...is this incorrect? My OEM soft top is clearly fabric per this test. It certainly looks and feels to be fabric.

I would really like to know the truth to this so i created a new Autogeek post regarding this here:

Could it be that your top was replaced with a Robbins Stayfast Canvas top?

Perhaps it is vinyl? WOW...I'm fooled!

I stand corrected.

I also tried to see if a flashlight would penetrate through the top with the light…thinking that one might be able to see some light through it if it were fabric...it wouldn't.
I believe this test isn't definitive. They have white blackout cloth, which is common for DIY home theater projection screens. It's a white fabric material bonded to vinyl and it is very opaque. On the fabric side, if you do the water drop test you'll see the water go in because it's fabric, but I know for certain that it won't let any noticeable amount of light through.
