Bought some RaggTopp after hearing so much about it, plus Modifry hasn't let me down yet.

However, when I was first starting to spray... it came out a bit uneven and I got way too much on in several places. It has been about 30 minutes when this picture was taken. However, it's not very sunny out at all. It's still 75-80 degrees out though.

What should I do, if anything?



Thanks,

Clean it using the supplied cleaner. To apply get a MF towel and spray it on the towel then work it into the top, do as many times as you like to get the color back to black. You will get a more uniform finish this way (avoid what happened to you) and will keep Raggtop off the paint.

I wasn't given any cleaner with my purchase, it may be extra/separate. I had cleaned and garaged the car the night before and the top is probably 4 months old. So I'm a little bit worried about the current condition of it.

I will use a MF towel from now on / I was able to spray the rest of the car with ease once I got the flow going well.

Will water remove the excess from the top?

SilverS2kF22C1 is right on the application. Spray it liberally on a MF and wipe it on. Use another to buff lightly.

Buffing with a clean MF towel may be enough to even it out. Maybe even a towel with a little Raggtopp on it.

Otherwise, simple car wash solution (normal dilution, as if you were washing your car) should remove the raggtop. If it doesn't, a stronger solution or a Dawn/dish soap wash should remove it. Then dry and reapply as recommended.

Thanks fellahs, I was quite paranoid last night that I had ruined my top.

This morning after more drying, I'd say it's probably 80% better. I'm going to take a damp MF towel and see if I can gently dab it out some more.

Cheers!

It looks like you just applied too much RaggTopp protectant.

I use a microfiber sponge, which you can pick up at any auto store, to apply RaggTopp or 303. I spray it onto the sponge and then rub it in. I've never had a problem with excessive application.

Anyway, you haven't damaged your top. Worse comes to worse, just wash the top the next time you wash the car and then re-apply the RaggTopp.

Min will get to look like that every time I apply it. This is usually because the top is a little wet from washing.

I like to apply raggtop every week as cheap insurance. I don't use their cleaner as the carwash soap has always been sufficient.

I start with one side spraying the raggtop onto a foam wax applicator pad and then rubbing it onto the top. There is streaming at the beginning like I said, but after moving onto the other side i blot any white spots and all is well. The top is completey spot free after the first drive and after the sun is up a few hours in the morning, its complete shiny and protected.

Thanks to all who replied. The next I awoke early to inspect the top, frightful that I had created white spots. I was greeted with a pleasant, but now expected surprise that they had completely faded! Woot. I was really nervous there would be lasting white spots, so thanks helping to ease my mind.
