Rag top care.

[rcoops77]

Hi all

Have a client wanting to get her rag top cleaned and protected. It's a relatively new car.

I purchased 303 aerospace protectant and plan on coating after cleaning.

What is the best quality method of cleaning rag tops. I haven't done one yet.

Thanks in advance!

Make sure you have the correct product for the type of material the convertible top is made from .... also you should be able to find some video's on site.

Convertible Top Care Products. 303 convertible top care and Wolfsteins Raggtopp Products (http://www.autogeek.net/contopcleanp.html)

One hint I can offer from past experience. After cleaning properly, try to allow the roof to fully dry before using the protectant. Use two applications as possible. I found that with a damp roof, the protection didn't quite last as long, it was however a competing product.

It depends on the condition and material of the top. First, you must determine what material the top is. Most German cars are fabric, most Japanese cars are vinyl. American cars - depends.

I have experience with fabric...
