Hey VERT OWNERS--How do I protect and clean my TOP

I Just bought a 90 GT VERT That only Has 38,000MILES on it and the top is pretty good a few minor cracks. One fixed with an epoxy?

How do I keep it clean and any product that will keep it pliable and foldable so cracks don't get worse????

Thanks for the input

My convertible top is white, and when i haven't washed it in a while, stains from tree sap and dirt get on there, i just get some water and mix a little bit of bleach in and get a scrub brush and scrub it in, the stains come out, i dont recomment this on any other tops but white

I just finished cleaning and protecting my vinyl top with the RAGGTOPP kit . It was very easy to do and the results are great so far.

I am waiting to see how it all looks in a couple of days. right now the top looks awesome and hopefully stays that way. I am watrching to see how protectant dries, if it dries patchy I'll have to re-do it , if it dries uniformily I will be very happy with results and recommend to others I will let you know.

Yes, keep us posted. I just had new top put on mine. Although I drive a company vehicle every day, and my vert stays in the garage 90 percent of the time.

The good parts of the top look great!!!!

some of the distressed areas where the top folds are and tiny cracks have formed look a bit dry again. I am going to re apply to the spots to see if I can get a little better result. over all I think its a great product. I cannot blame them for not taking care of the top from day one( thanks previous owner) the majority ov my top now looks almost new. the are only a couple of the bad spots.
