can I find these ragg top that you called at near auto store? or most if it is online?
I've personally never seen 303 or Raggtop available in any auto parts store. I've heard that 303 is sold in RV and boating stores because it's a popular product for those markets. I've never seen Raggtop on a retail shelf.

GREAT info guys. I feel I can get at this successfully now. I'm ganna give 303 a shot because of it's 1 step process , meaning 1 application... then if i've got problems with streaks i'll give raggtopp a try.

all are online...

vinylex is my fav on vinyl. but they are all fine and have used them all.

and raggtopp is my fav on cloth tops (not the s2000)- cloth tops are a lot harder to care for than vinyl.

streaks are caused by not enough removal. the stuff should sit for awhile and then should be buffed off really well. if its removed properly it wont streak.. if its not, any of the above will streak on the paint.

Are all these top cleaners acceptable on the S2K top? I couldn't really tell from what I read. Also where can you buy these products in OklahomaCity. Thanks y'all.

yes, these products work well with the s2000 soft top. just make sure you're getting the cleaner/protectant for vinyl and not canvas (unless you have a replacement top) i myself use 303, but wanabe says that raggtop and vinylex are good products too (and he knows A LOT ) these products should be available online on autogeek.com.

if you wanna find a local shop that carries these products, you might want to try posting on your local forums. they'll know what places carry which items better.

hope this helps

Most of the brand has a cleaner and a conditioner, so there are a few steps in cleaning the top. Vinylex is a cleaner and conditioner in one. What is the step for using this brand?
