PHILLIE PHANATIC Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 What are you guys using to clean and protect your convertible top? I just purchased an 07 Vette with tan convertible top. I've seen Rag Top, is there anything else out there? How about it Adam, when are you going to make something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pirahnah3 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Not sure if Adams has anything specific for a rag top. When I owned mine I used a different product on it that did a good job at keeping the water out. I would think that the typical interior cleaner should be ok but not sure what to put on for protection of fabric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mc2hill Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Adam usually recommends the RaggTopp line, They make great stuff, so it is hard to make a better product. Adam's dealer Detailer's Domain also carries those products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Odds and Ends Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I keep RaggTopp on my retail shelves as well. I use it my own cars as well as customers. - Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Ragg Topp. Only thing I use for protection, then just wash the car and top with Adam's Car Shampoo. I only apply the Ragg Topp once a year. 69supersport396 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Odds and Ends Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Rich....you put shampoo on your top? Holy cow......how long does it take you to rinse that out? I never wash cloth tops with shampoo and/or a mitt. Use the RaggTopp cleaner before treatment. - Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been protected and waterproofed with the Ragg Topp so it doesn't absorb the water. And how else are you going to get bird dirt, etc. off of it without washing. Doesn't hurt it, and doesn't take any longer to rinse than the rest of the car. And when I dry the car, I dry the top. Never had any issues at all. No fading either.

0 CMDChase Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Ragg Topp. I've tried several but I like this the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any issues at all. No fading either. I wash mine also. Soap sprays right off.The way I look at it is washing it is not much different then if it's raining out. I've just added soap. Then it drys fine with a drying towel and mines never been treated with Ragg Topp. I'll be ordering some now.

0 Rich Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 And actually, General Motors recommends that you wash your rag top when you wash your car. Jeff (FrozenWS6) when you order the Ragg Topp, order the kit rather than just one or the other. It's the better bargain and you can clean it good first, then protect it. They recommend two or three applications and let it dry a day or so between applications. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 FrozenWS6 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Cool. Thanks for the information Rich. I'll have it ready for when I get the car back out in the spring. Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you guys using to clean and protect your convertible top? I just purchased an 07 Vette with tan convertible top. I've seen Rag Top, is there anything else out there? How about it Adam, when are you going to make something?
