Default Convertible top fading ?

Hey, I was just wondering what you guys do to protect your convertible tops from fading ? Mine is black and looks good so far but is there like a protective coat or spray you can add to help the life of it ? Or pretty much when it fades you just replace the fabric ?

Thanks alot =]

raggtop or 303 VINYL cleaner protectant, best applied with a firm foam/microfiber pad. detailersdomain.com should have what you need. you could also try properautocare.com

if you use DD.com, put s2ki in the coupon box at checkout for 10% off

DD raggtop kit
DD microfiber pads

Other products here on another site, plus links to items to care for the rubber seals on the top as well.

Here's a how to thread on how to apply the products and care for the top


hope all this helps out, and like the others said, be sure to check out the wash and wax section for lots of great info!
