Default How to make black top shine??

Black convertible top looks dusty and pale. How do I make this thing shine like the rest of the car? Are there any chemicals out there safe for it to give the convertible top a luster?

And do not use anything that contains alcohol, this will pull the natural moisture from the fabric and dry it out, causing the same thing you are trying to remedy.

anyone ever put tire wet or vinyl shine on theirs. I've done it once for a car show and it didn't seem to hurt anything, but it make it look fantastic
