Convertible Top Cleaner & Protectant

[Obsessed]

Just wondering if there is anything in the works for a cleaner & protectant for convertible tops? I currently use a product that is not very user friendly, but works well. If Adam's is going to make such a product I'll buy it in a heartbeat!!!

No convertible top specific product, but you could clean it with APC.

I would use a diluted APC 4:1 water/APC.

The last part of that is why we really don't have one... its hard to create a user friendly, good performing, convertible top cleaner/protectant that will suit all needs. The materials vary so much that making a "one size fits all" isn't feasible.

That is my go to recommendation when just soap and water or a diluted mixture of APC fail. Also if you have very stubborn stains on your top that neither soap, apc, or raggtop address take a trip to your local marine supply store. Often times there are cleaners and protectants for boat covers that work very well on convertible tops.

 

Rest assured if/when we can find a good way to fill this need we'll have a product, but for right now we don't have one.

3M makes a great product for Sunbrella™ which gives back its water repellence.

 

We've used it on our boats covers in the past. I believe they make a cleaner as well.

My car sits in a garage but I just use soap and water and then VRT and it looks great.

Them or 303. We are looking at a way to get around the VOC laws involved in getting this product made. We don't have an answer yet, but a tip: Ragg Topp is most cost effective on Amazon.com.

I'll give a vote for RagTop. I've been using it on Dylan's recommendation, but I still want an Adam's version. I think I've prodded Dylan a couple times on it.

It doesn't have to be a one size fits all. Just formulate it to Porsche's material and I won't complain.

Hopefully you can get the VOC figured out. If you do and need a beta tester, I know of a car.

 

The RagTop spray can is actually something that surprised me. They must be just skirting the VOC laws. I'm amazed at the fumes it puts out every time I use it. A well ventilated area, like cat 5 hurricane winds, is a must. Never try to use it in a closed area if you like to breath.
