I have an 05 w/black ragtop. Even after washing w/a car wash soap and foam pad cleaner it still looked dirty. I then used my old standby of Simple Green (diluted 1:3) w/soft bristle brush and all of the dirt that was along the seams and all the sap was gone. I then use a convertible top cleaner/conditioner for vinal tops (don't recall the name since tag came off but it is in a white spray bottle and had a fairly basic blue/black/white label on it) that put a nice luster on it. It looks showroom new now.

Exclamation Convertible Top Treatment

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and I just bought a 1998 Mustang convertible GT. The top is in good shape But I would like to keep it up. Someone told me to use Lemon Pledge polish on the top to keep it good. Has anyone heard of that or what would you suggest.

This is the stuff you want:
303 Products Inc.: 303 Aerospace Protectant
Someone else on this forum turned me onto it (FYougitive I think), and it works great. Might be a little difficult to find, but it's worth it.

Yeah, I've heard that the 303 line is good but have not tried them yet. I have an 05 w/vinal top and I use a diluted Simple Green (~1:3 - product:water) (and use the green solution, not yellow) mix with a soft nylon bristle brush. This will get any dirt & grime from around your stitching & seams easily. It will also remove most sap & contaminates. I then use Blue Magic Convertible Top Cleaner & Conditioner (both products can be found at AutoZone, Car Quest, etc) w/a foam applicator to bring out a rich luster on the top.

I came across this link and thought it would be a good add for this section:

I buy from eShine Canada- Car Wax, Car Polish, Microfiber, Polishers, Tire Dressings, Detailing Supplies. they are in Port Colborne, Ontario Canada ... Ragg top is a great product to restore and protect your roof and 303 does a great job to maintain it ... also eShine sells a wax product called Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax .... I can bet that if you try this wax you'll never look back!

Cheers
Mike

What are all the 03-04 Cobra owners using? These tops are different material, and I'm wondering how we clean and condition them.

Default Leaking top

I just found out that my top leaks through the rear window. Does anyone know if there is something that I can use to re-seal the glass or any other suggestions.
