Arrow soft top conditioners...

i just noticed a few days ago my soft top doesnt hold its rich color like it use to, nor does it repell water like before . by any chance does any know what kind of chemicals i can use to keep it looking new and can stop water from beading on it?

Im a big fan of Vynilex. It works great, lasts a good 2-3 months, and easy to come by. Other like raggtop, 303, etc, but they all do the same thing. Whatever you get, remember our top is vynil, NOT canvas, so make sure the cleaner is for VYNIL tops.

vinylex, 303 or raggtopp for vinyl are all excellent choices-

dont srpay on the top- soak a rag and rub it in really well... dont want that stuff on your paint!

303 Aerospace protectant can be found at some outdoor stores and also some boating stores.

Vinylex is also available in some boating stores and some auto parts stores like Pep Boys.

Ragg Top (my personal favorite) is rarely found locally. I found some once in a local speed shop but that was it. Typically you can buy it on-line at many of the online detailing stores.
