Default Care of a Rag Top

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone can give me some tips on the care of my Y2K's ragtop. I just bought it 2 days ago so it has had 3+ years of the California sun under someone else's care. It still looks good now, but I'd like to do anthing I can to keep it that way.

Thanks!

Josh

Thanks for the reply Dan, but isn't there some kind of conditioning compound you can use. Or at least something that will block UV's?

what color is your ragtop, thats Important too.the dark color ones absorb more heat and UV energy, so they are more prone to damage.......the opposite with the white and other light colors..if you do a web search under Google.com for "Convertible top care" you'll find a ton of products. I use a specific product but all are the same.
