Default First Experience with Raggtop

I've had my car since May and I have been going crazy with washing and waxing the paint. The top however has always been my downfall. I would clean and scrub it but until now had not gone out to buy any treatment.

That being said, I had my g/f buy me some Raggtop cleaner and protectant for my birthday last week. Yesterday the weather was nice and warm enough to finally get around to cleaning the top.

I am simply amazed at how it looks now. The top has brightened up and has such a smooth and clean feeling to it. The difference is just un-believable. The top had such a faded look to it, and now it looks new again.

Raggtop baby

wish you coulda done some before and aft pics!!
it is good stuff- and just to make the thread complete, for anyone thinking of getting raggtopp, be sure to get the vinyl version- not the aerosol one for fabric (which is, btw, a real pia to use- vinyl tops are much easier to care for than fabrics).

I can take some after pics next time I have good lighting. I had to do this at dusk as the sun is already on its way down when I get home from work.

I'm sure I have a few before pics altho they wont be up close.

I knew someone would ask but I wanted to post my happiness anyways.

did you have to use a brush or can it be applied with a microfiber?

Brush for the cleaner, but applied the pretectorant with a MF.

I never tried Raggtop before, only 303.
Anyone tried both? How do they compare?
