it is vinyl, so vinylex is one choice that has been discussed here...
my car is a year and a half old and the top is like new- but also never up except to wash the car. i have not used anything on it and only washed it once (it didnt neet it then either!).

This is the other stuff that lots of people (including me) use:

303 Aerospace Protectant

I use Lexol Vinylex and it works great,use a sponge(new) to apply it.It gives the top a deep rich color and really repells water.

Thanks for the tips.

I decided to go with the 303 aerospace and I'm pleased with the results.

Picked up a gallon at the local Overton's for $50.

Sure beats the $67.50 from the link above.

Does anyone put this stuff on the plastic panels on the body. Is it safe on the paint?

Just Wonderin'

I use 303 only on the convertible top and and the tires. It leaves a nice low gloss black shine on the tires and since it's water based it doesn't attract dirt. Definitely do not use 303 on any painted surfaces.
