I searched the forum a couple nights ago to see what members are using on tops. I stopped at Advance Auto the pick up a few things and found a 3M product that I did not see mentioned here. I generally like 3M stuff so I gave it a try.

The stuff seems pretty good. Of course it looked great when applied to a damp top, but 24 hours later there has been no change in appearance with no residue at all.

It's 3M Leather and Vinyl Restorer - cleaner, conditioner.

Here's a pic 24 hours after application. The car is an '02 with the original top.

 

Damn. That top looks great for the age. Someone took car of it.

 

That car was definitely garaged.
