Cleaning soft top - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

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

Is there any North armerican products that well work in the same way for clean and protection?

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.

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??

Advice,
if you have a plastic rear window and intend to polish the rear window with a power drill and clear plastic window polish kit, make it a point to tape off the edge of the window and cover the whole top with newspaper .

otherwise you will have a whole new Raggtopp project on your hands...

and don't bother with a rechargeable drill, you'll need a plug in, lots of torque is needed.

p.s.
The best brush for the canvas top and buy another one for the edge of the wheel wells, side skirts and bumpers.
