What kind of cleaner do you guys use on your convertible top? More importantly what of liquid or finish can I use to restore the factory black color to the top? Thanks for the help.

I have a 06 and the top looks better then new. I use ragg top comes in a kit with cleaner and dressing. Found it at autogeek and i still have the same kit from 06. My top looked sort of gray when i first got the car and know its more of a nice black finish.

Yep, me too on the Ragg Top. Make sure you get the correct one though! (Vinyl or Cloth)

Dumb question. How can you tell if your top is cloth or vinyl? I have a 1966 and I don't know which it is.

if it is hard and smooth, its vinyl. cloth tops are softer, and appear "cloth" like. check out some higher end cars as they usually have cloth tops.

I also use Ragg Top on my parchment top, it works great. If you have a cloth top Griot's makes some good stuff. Car Care, Detail Supplies, Garage Organization, Car Accessories - Griot's Garage 800-345-5789
