can one not spray raggtopp directly? is the fear that it will get on other parts of the car, or is there another reason to soak a rag away from the car?

 

I don't spray directly to the top. I spray it on a applicant sponge, work it into the top especially at the vinyl where the metal bars put pressure on. And buff it off. I use vinylex and it's amazing... go from a faded black to a freshly new looking top

 

Did you try using the search tool here?

It's pretty straightforward. I use 303's cleaner and a brush & follow up with their protectant. The label instructions are pretty sufficient IMO. I'd just avoid directly spraying the protectant on your top, as has already been mentioned in this thread.

303 does as well.
303 Convertible Top Cleaner
303 Aerospace Protectant
I'd definitely recommend 303's cleaner and protectant but Raggtop's products are also good.

It sprays all over and its hard to get a uniform coat on the top if you apply it directly.

 

i got wax on my top and cant get it off tried everything

any ideas?

 

Here's my question, do you guys wash the inside of the top, and do you use any protectant inside? I really need to dedicate some time to the inside of my soft top as it has quite a bit of dirt inside. It's going to take like an hour of straight cleaning and I never get around to it.

 

do i need to use the 303 top cleaner? or is the protectant good enough?

 

I use 303 cleaner and vinylex vinyl protectant. It works well for me. I can see water beads on the top when i wash my car. I recomment using 303 cleaner

 

Vacuum it using the brush attachment, using very light pressure. You could try wiping the inside on the top with Meguiar's quick interior wipes!!

 

303 vinyl/cloth cleaner says to have the softtop wet before working on it. does everyone else work when the top is dry? I did my top last week and it still looks very faded. I need to find agood conditioner to keep the top looking/feeling new.
