Here's the car as it is today. I have yet to do a second application of raggtopp protectant.

 

Thats ****ing HOT. God I want the weather to warm up here... got about half an inch of ice today... FYI: I hate you people in warm weather.

 

sure looks to me like it worked!!

(what did you do?)

 

I used about half the bottle of the protectant when I applied it the first time.

First I sprayed it on sections of the top, then rubbed it in with a cloth. I worked with a 1 ft x 1 ft section each time.

Although it has gotten darker over time, it may still benefit from another application.

 

1/2 Bottle lol

 

^^ Haha! Well the bottle feels half its original weight!

 

By the way, that picture is now my background and thats ALOT of Raggtopp... I've used mine like... 3 or 4 times, and it's maybe a third gone?

 

Sorry, none of those products are going to restore a faded soft top. They will darken somewhat but it is temporary. This is the reason a a vinyl protectant needs to be used from day 1 of ownership.


I would not use Back to Black. On a piece as big as your top you WILL get streaking. It is tough to get the color even.

 

is it a benefit to use the corresponding vinyl cleaner (ie: raggtop vinyl cleaner) or will just scrubbing with regular car soap and water do?
