Just treated Soft Top with RaggTTop

After applying the protectant to the surface of the black softtop it has a look of small lighter particles on the surface. Will these stay on the surface once the protectant is dry or will they brush off.

thanks for any wisdom you might have

Gary, I have treated my top twice with Ragg Topp. Each time I applied 3 coats. Between coats and after the final coat, when dry, I brushed the top with a clean & dry China bristle paint brush to remove those "small lighter particles".

Do you have to treat the top with any kind of cleaner before applying the RAGGTOP? If yes, what do you use? Soap and water or what?

Ragg Topp also makes a cleaner to be used with the protectant.

I just ordered the kit that has both RAGG TOPP cleaner and protectant via Amazon.com for ~$35 delivered.

^ Raggtopp has a cleanser and a protectant. These are the only two products that should be used, meaning don't wash your canvas top with car wash soap or Tide. Other brands of canvas material are probably fine but Raggtopp gets the seal of approval from Hartz who make the canvas for Porsche.

Also, each time you wash the top with the cleanser, you have to reapply the protectant over the area that you washed. For maintenance just rinse it with a stiff stream of water from your garden hose. If you get bird bombs use a soft tooth brush with the raggtopp cleanser. And as the temps get cooler, don't lower the top without heating up the cockpit first.

I use a lint brush to remove those gray particles and any stuff that attached to the top. It works really well.
