As to the original question - I'm guessing that the Porsche is actually a canvas top. If rain was beading up and flying off like you say, he probably had some sort of protectant on it (ScotchGard, 303 Fabric Protector, etc). I know when I treated a client's Benz with the 303 stuff, water just sat up on there like beads on a fresh coat of #16.

I bought the 303 Aerospace Protectant, and though I like the results, I would compare its content to that of Armor All. I think it might be a bit overrated. I think just about any product intended to protect interior from UV rays would probably work.

CARNUTMAMA I was wondering the same thing. I thought it was cloth. Looks and feels pretty much like my 996 cab. I don't know, I hope someone knowledgable chimes in on this.

The S2000 top is a patterned vinyl made to look like cloth. The Raggtopp for cloth is basically parrafin wax I believe along with some other ingredients. Works great on my Porsche top. I use Raggtopp for vinyl for my top as well as using it on my dash the last couple of times.

Some of the most knowledgeable detailers on this board have already chimed in. The top is vinyl.
