I am putting a sealer on my tops (Raggtopp fabric protectant) and I just finished the 2nd coat. how many more should I put if any and how long shoiuld I wait before I use the car.

I used 2 coats on my Boxster and it would last an entire season (in Mass). You'll find that you'll only have to rinse off the top when you wash your car.

Any pictures?

I went with two coats on my cabriolet,--with a 15 minute wait between coats. (I actually masked off the rest of the entire car to do this!) Let the water tell you if it is enough. If it beads up it is enough. If not, let it dry again and do another.

I never applied this protectant before the car will be 2yrs old in May before I unmask it do yas thinks it a good idea for a third here is what it looks like now.I tried to upload the file and it's too big if anyone can help me with how to make the file smaller .I would appreciate it

I would go ahead with the third since you have it masked!

Good luck.

I do this every 6 months and have always used only 1 coat per the instructions. Never needed more. Water beads up extremely well to the point where my application 6 months later is probably not really needed but I follow the regular regimen.

lol, that looks familiar

I did 3 coats for my fist application on the 987.
Seemed to work fine through the winter months but 2 may have been sufficient.

Re-application: 1 coat with Spring detail.

2 coats again before Winter.

good stuff, works well.

cheers

What is this? Am I supposed to be putting this on my cab? What happens if I don't do anything?

Raggtopp does not require that you mask anything (as opposed to the Porsche product). It's easy to clean from the windows and a detail spray takes if from the paint.

You SHOULD use a protectant on your top. It helps keep it clean and dry

Over time the original waterproofness of the top fades and you won't shed water as well. You need to make sure that the water continues to bead up like it did when new. The RaggTopp stuff is recommended for Porsches.

True, you don't have to shield the rest of the car when spraying on RaggTopp, but it makes later clean up go faster.

I just got my cab brand new, should I go ahead and put on the raggtop right away? or should a wait a certain period before applying anything?
