Convertible Top Protectant

[bobbob]

I haven't had a convertible in several years, but when I had
one I used 303 Protectant. I am getting a convertible and
I was wondering what everyone is using now? Thank you

Do they still make "Ragtop"?

I have been using a product called Raggtopp. Easy to use and seems to really work well. Spray it on and it protects for a long time. I havent tried anything else. Why switch when you find a product thats easy to use and works great.

If you can't find Raggtopp, go to the nearest Porsche dealer and buy their stuff for convertible tops. It's equal to, maybe a little better, not cheap though.

Raggtop or 303.

I use the BMW stuff because I like that it is concentrated and I can just mix some up and apply it.

I had been using 303 on my S2000 soft top since new, it's good but hard to find except at local Ace hardware, the price is about $10 for a small bottle.

Will try BMW protectant, what is the mixing ratio ? 50-50 with distilled water ?

I use 303, order it in gallon jug, can treat the top many times.
Plus I Have 3 convertibles so, buy in bulk.

Important thing is to treat the top a couple times a year.

I'm using the 303. Makes the water bubble up and run off

I've used Raggtop and 303. I am far more pleased with the 303. Water beads right off my canvas top. Raggtop didn't last 90 days. And I prepped the top using the raggtop convertable top cleaner.
Just my 2 cents though.
This is the perfect time of year for curing 303. Spray it on and let it cure in the summer heat. Thats what makes it last.

Haartz, who has made Mercedes' convertible tops for many years, is presently recommending RaggTopp for most of their materials:

That's good enough for me.
