Default Soft top

I have noticed my soft top if fading pretty bad. In high sunlight it looks brown. Is there anything i can do to prevent/restore the soft top from fading.

a good vinyl protectant would have sunscreen in it...

check these out:

303
vinylex
raggtopp

they will restore at least some of your black with proper application- and will keep it from fading any more.

soak a rag away from the car and rub it in really well. let it sit awhile (detail the rest of the car) then remove it with a clean towel (i do it twice to make sure i get it all off)

Gotta say that I just got the 303 top kit from autogeek and it worked great... from old and gray to brand new lookin' black. Special deal even included an extra 32oz bottle o0f the cleaner.

It's quite commonly found at marine stores/boat dealers. You should be able to find one of those in your area.
