Automobile manufacturers are receiving warranty claims from owners of convertibles that have disintegrated prematurely. Often this can be attributed to an unwitting detailing professional or vehicle owner who uses strong solvents or other harsh cleaners on a regular basis to keep the convertible material clean.

Unfortunately, such harsh cleaning tend to break down the material and the stitching that holds the various materials together. They also offer no protection from ultra violet radiation (UV) which will result in subsequent fading from photosynthesis

The Haartz Corp (acquired Rode & Schwalenbert that was established for 105 years) the world leading manufacturer of automobile convertible tops exclusively recommends Wolfsteins Pro-Series RaggTopp ™ Cleaner and RaggTopp ™ Protectant Developed specifically for cleaning, re-proofing and preserving convertible tops

So convertible tops are fighting global warming by using sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to produce oxygen.

TOGWT thanks for the link. Just to be sure, Raggtopp cleaner will not damage paint?

It will not. Just remove quickly. And/or drape a few towels about to absorbe overspray.

I look up to Jon maybe more than any other person in the detailing work. He's such a giving and knowledgeable person and we are fortunate to have him around.

+1. Last last time I applied it, I got overspray on the windshield. Didn’t see it, so didn’t wipe it off before it dried. Then nothing short of machine polishing the windshield would remove it.

Next time, will be covering everything with disposable plastic painting tarps from Home Depot.
