Default Using RAGGTOP too often?

hey i was just wonderin if it is ok to use the Raggtop Protectant either after every wash or every few washes. I got the car new so what i usually do is wash the car and top with a nice clean mit with NXT soap i give the top a good scrubbing even though i usually dont let my car get that dirty so i dont use the raggtop cleaner, just the soap. then apply the protectant after the top is dry and then let it sit on there for a few hrs. But i just wanted to know if using the protectant after every wash or couple washes is ok, i dont see why not but wanted to get opinons.

ohh i also use a Microfiber wax applicator pad to apply the raggtop. This is ok to use correct.

thanks guys

That should be fine, but is probably a bit of a waste of RaggTopp protectant. I find I only need to reapply every 6th wash or so, and I also use a microfiber applicator. I wash with car wash soap as well, in my case, Meguire's Gold Class - no issues with not using the RaggTopp cleaner as far as I can tell.

ohh ok i guess i will do it every 5-6 washes or depending on how much rain we get. i just assumed by me washing the top i was actually washing it away and that it would have to be re applied every time i washed the car

I believe they recommend treating the top every 5-6 *weeks* on the bottle label. That's a decent rough guideline. I tend to reapply after every wash (about 3-4 weeks depending).

On 303 Protectant its every 3-4 weeks so you should be good. I like the look after applying it, a dark shiny black
