soak a rag away from the car with a vinyl protectant (303, vinylex, raggtopp for vinyl are some of the "top" choices!)- rub the protectant into the top... get lotsa product on it and rub in well. let it sit awhile- i do the rest of the car at this point. then, with a clean dry rag, buff off the top. get another clean dry rag and buff it again.

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

I believe our tops are vinyl and Raggtopp makes a vinyl top cleaner and protectant.
303 Convertible Top Cleaner
303 Aerospace Protectant
I'd definitely recommend 303's cleaner and protectant but Raggtop's products are also good.

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?

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.

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.
