Default What should you treat a convertible top with?

Does anyone know what you're supposed to treat your rag top with (if anything)?

Is it a vinyl or cloth top?

My top is vinyl....I had someone off the street say that it needs to be treated. I tried a couple of quick web searches but didn't come up with anything.

303 products have an impressive line of stuff, including top treatments for vinyl and fabric.

I just use regular Armorall regularly but it's always garaged. Did this for last 6 years with my RX-7 Convertible-kept it great considering it was a original top from '88.

If it's soiled use RaggTopp Vinyl Convertable Top Care to clean and protected it .... Then use 303 to maintain it. 303 will keep your top nice and black and shinny!

Surprisingly, look up products for the Volkswagon. They've been making ragtops forever and they have great products for maintaining them. A lot of my Jeep catalogs have Volkwagon soft top care products in them and that's what I used on my TJ.

You just have to work yourself up to using a product on your vehicle that has a Volkswagon logo on the bottle.
