Just remmember if your top is as bad as mine even ragtopp will work for just some time. 2 to 3 rainstorms or washes later it will look the same again. If you are looking for a long term solution then Mothers Back to Black might be the next step. I googled it couple days ago and remmember reading a thread where some one did it and it worked well.

Make sure you wash the top thoroughly first using a soft brush and your favorite cleaner. I use 303 and always go heavier with it over any stitched areas, this is the weakest part of any convertible top.

Faded fabric - caused by ultra violet radiation (UVR) photo degradation use Renovo Soft Top Reviver (http://www.convertiblecar.com) a paint-on product that restores faded colour

303 FTMFW!

I just got a shipment from the US sent here, and it turned a 7 year old hood back to new again!

I've been using Eagle One Nano-Protection (for vinyl and leather) for a couple months now and I loving it. It's very reasonable and you can it it at Kragon. My top was fading and now it's nice and black. Of course, you could use it for your interior too.

He's british. So hood = soft top, bonnet = hood and boot = trunk.

I watch too much Top Gear.

RaggTop and 303 vinyl are both great protectants. A car cover is even better.
