My car is the same color combo as yours. I also use the Raggtop cleaner and protectant. Before I spray the proctectant on, I tape newspapers around the edges of the top (i let them dangle down the car) so that none of the overspray from the Raggtop gets on my paint.

My Box is grey/grey/grey, too, and I have the same creases and such.... haven't ordered any Raggtopp yet, but will be doing so soon. Gotta decide if the top is decent enough to have the plastic window replaced, or just wait until I can afford a whole new top (which might be another year).

If it cleans up well, and looks good, I'll just have the window replaced, and maybe a few years down the line, I'll have the top replaced.

Thanks for the advice.


Now my search for ragtop cleaner begins in Europe.

Cheers

I recently tried "Blue magic convertible top cleaner". It seemed fine but I don't know how it stacks up with ragg top. Everyone here swears by ragg top.

Taping off before using Raggtopp

I was interested in this suggestion. First (and so far only) time I used that product, I did the tape-off (as porschegeorg mentioned doing). After do so, I wondered to myself if it was really necessary. Has anyone had any problems with reactions between RT and the finish??
