Which one is better? Raggtopp or Porsche Convertible Protectant
I am planning to purchase top protectant for my 2003 Boxster. I called the dealer and they have Porsche top protectant in stock for around $20. But I noticed the everyone is using Raggtopp products... Please help!!!

The maker of the Porsche canvas endorses Raggtopp.
Get the Raggtopp cleanser as well If your weekly rinising won't remove a stain. Use an OXO feathertip brush with the cleanser. You'll have to reapply the protectant afterwards. No soap on the top. Detergent attracts dust which is public enemy #1, thus the importance of the weekly spray down. |
I'm curious myself
I was about to throw out this question today to forum members. Just bought a seal grey with grey top '05 Boxster S a few weeks ago and while up at Cal Car Cover Co. in San Fernando Valley ordering a custom car cover, was chatted up by their excellent help re: Raggtop. Bought the RT cleaner-protectorant kit but when I got home and actually got down to spraying the top, I just got the willies and backed away. The thought of ruining the convertible top with a $15 product because of staining was a nightmare of epic proportions so I just said forget it pending more research.
Asked my local Porsche dealer and he was tentative: i.e. Raggtop "could be OK...." "Raggtop might be the same as the Porsche protectorant-conditioner..." and such. Needless to say, that did not appease. I've also emailed PCA's tech guys but have yet to hear back. Has anyone used Raggtop successfully? |
Encouraging news...
PefectLap's post went up as I was writing first query. Good to hear Porsche's CV top maker endorses Raggtop. Thanks.

I bought the raggtop stuff as well but I have not used it yet either. It says in bold words on the back "wipe overspray off paint and glass immediately." This gives me the willies.

It really doesn't take that long to do, and you don't have to worry about your paint or windows. I did it one afternoon a couple of months ago, and the next day it was ready to drop the top and have more fun. Jack |
Previous thread on my and others' experiences with it is here.

I have heard great things about the Raggtop, I was going to use it myself, but nobody out on the Big Island seems to carry it.....Mail services won't send aerosol containers since 9/11 out here, so I opted for the 303 Cleaner and Protectant, and although its only been 2 months since I used it, I'm happy with the results so far.....Beads up real nice in the rain ;)

I tried ordering as well, and they wont ship an airosol.. Its rather funny if you ask me :)
What do they think is gonna happen with a can of anything. Blow up and take the plane or truck down, or somebody on the plane is going to sneak into the cargo hold and raggtop one of the pilots :) Sometimes I wonder what the people who make up these policies are smoking,, :cheers: Mike |

Aerosol sprays, etc......
The funny thing is, you can go to the department stores and see LOADS of aerosol products everywhere......Now I ask you, how are they getting there to Hawaii.....By boat? Maybe.......But can't a boat blow up as well? More 9/11 logic for ya :confused:

I can make a flame thrower out of the vodka I buy at duty free...
