I have an '01 Convertible GT with a black top and want to keep the top from fading. Can anyone recommend any good products to care for a black top? Thanks in advance!

dude the only way to go is raggtop cleaner and protectant. The stuff is very easy to use and is the best stuff out there. they offer a kit for like 30 bucks it includes both the cleaner and protectant. I have a black top. When i got my car it had come up from texas and i dont thing the top had ever been cleaned or protected because it wasnt black nemore, it was red. I used this stuff and it brought it right back to black and prtotects it very well. I stand very strongly behing raggtop.

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate the info. I'm going to buy some this weekend. Is Autofanatics the place you'd recommend buying from? Prices look pretty much the same everywhere. Thanks again!

clean then apply the protectant. It may come out with an uneven appearance the first time you use it, just apply evenly and wait a day for it to even out before applying more
