so raggtop for our soft top, is good on our vinyl interior (dash) as well?

and would you use the raggtop cleaner before then the raggtop conditioner after?
make sure you get the raggtopp for vinyl... if you are going with raggtopp for your top. they do make a cloth version- and i can tell you that it is much easier to maintain a vinyl top vs cloth (we are lucky that honda chose vinyl).

yes you can use any vinyl product on both exterior and interior-

cleaner is used first and then conditioner. imo you very rarely will need the cleaner. in fact i no longer own one. if its bad enough for a cleaner, i just use an all purpose cleaner... then the vinyl protectant.

You can, and you won't hurt anything, but I wouldn't. Raggtopp is pretty expensive - I save it for the top, and use Vinylex on the interior. Vinylex is roughly $10/bottle, and I can find it at the auto parts store.

cool, thanks man,


How would you guys clean the inside of your soft top, with the same vinyl solution?

My soft top is pretty dusty now, also all the plastic pieces can i use the vinyl solution

also?


Thanks

RaggTop would probably work really well for the weather stripping around the car over regular solutions because it beads... Never though of that. I agree not to use it on the Dashboard though. I don't need my dashboard beading water

lol

I clean the inside of the (closed) top with a microfiber towel dampened with some all-purpose cleaner. I haven't hit it with Vinylex (or 303, or any of the other vinyl products) but don't see why you couldn't.

The vinyl protectants can be used on hard plastic as well. I've tried 303, and I switched back to Vinylex. Same reason as before. It's less expensive, and easier to find.

If you want to try 303 instead, I bought mine at a boating supply place.
