RE: How to make black top shine?? - 2/2/2007 11:25:08 PM    easter9053 Posts: 208 Joined: 3/15/2006 From: Memphis, TN Status: offline I have used "Tire Wet" when I couldn't find this so called "Raggtop" stuff in three auto parts stores. I didn't check to see what was in it, I just used it. It gave my top a nice glossy shine that is still lasting after a week of cold, clammy weather. Where is "Ragtopp" sold for this great shine that I like so much? _____________________________ http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c80/easter9053/New%20Ford%20Mustang%20GT/?action=view¤t=P1010038.jpg www.cardomain.com/id/easter9053 "I really need to find a less expensive hobby."

The person at the auto parts store said to never use it on a convertible top, but im sure it would give a nice shine. I use aerospace 303 on it and it is also a little pricey but gives it that "new" look. _____________________________ -perfection- (in reply to easter9053) Post #: 19

Some products will accumulate on your top and attract contaminients from the environment, and ruin it. (in reply to Valcore) Post #: 20
