I use a convertible top cleaner made by blue magic, and then spray a tire foam or armor all on it (it looks great) , AND THEN wash my car but it makes a mess if your car is a daily driver and it rains on your top the armor all runs down your car and looks like crap, but then again I dont drive my car in the rain.

I have a convertible top cleaner I got from advanced auto parts. I haven't used it much, but it doesn't make a huge difference from what I see. I should try the armor all trick.

If it's a cloth top try using 303 fabric guard or if it's vinyl use 303 protectant. Both are a little pricey but work extremly well.

Where can you get these 303 products? Never seen them anywhere. I have a cloth top on my '04 GT, and I have never put anything else than water on it so far.

My top is in good working condition i.e. no tears or rips or anything, but it is extremely faded and looks like ***. Will the Ragg Topp restore that color virtually re-dying the top? Or should I be looking for a different product?
