Default Cleaning/protecting your soft top?

I notice after I wash my car the top absorbs a good amount of water, and when it dries it has some dirt embedded into it. What kinds of products do you guys use to clean and protect the top so water beads off of it?

Also if you car is out in the sun for long periods with the top up I recommend a car cover and not the dust cover because the sun will tear it apart over time (speaking from experience)

I always love this thread. It is a carbon copy of the last one every time lol.

I use and recommend 303. I buy it locally at Cabela's in the boat section. It is awesome. My top looked brand new for years.

303 for sure. Cleaner and protectant. Purchase at nearly any boat supply store, kinda pricey but well worth it. Makes the top look brand new! And a single coat lasts a long time.

I think I will try it. Used a bottle of the Raggtop, it does a good job, and looks great, but the blackness of the product really seems to fall off around 5-6 weeks, which is when the bottle recommends re-applying. My car sits in an open lot at work Mon-Fri, so it def gets a lot of sun.
