Default Rag top care

Is there anything I should do to the soft top on my new cab to preserve it, i.e., some sort of sealant or other coat of protection? Thanks.

Porsche has a complete soft top care kit - one spray is a sealant , I can't remember the others... I used them on my 986S - Keeps it looking great...

Go to Properautocare.com and get the Raggtop kit. It is easy to use and the best that there is. You will also need a soft brissel brush, which you can get anywhere. I also got the PS21 drying towel to take the water off it when I wash it as you don't want to use a towel that is going to leave lint on the top.

I went to properautocare.com to order the raggtop kit and wound up spending $300... jeez. I just spent $200 at Zaino Bros. too, what the hell is wrong with me I don't have any time to wash my car... oh well.

Yeah my "CFO" gets really pissed but I tell her to take two aspirin and lie down and that usually helps.

Remember it's better to beg for forgiveness than beg for permission.

Raggtopp is great stuff, and it only costs about $15 or so per can, which will do probably 3 tops. Go to http://www.wolfsteins.com/ to find a dealer for Raggtopp.
