Whats the best way to maintain the finish and care for rag tops? Moisturizing etc. ?

I use normal car wash soap and a mild brush in circular motions. Then apply a conditioner at the end to moisturize the top.

I had a rag top once and best thing I can say is use a lint free towel to dry and there is this stuff called "raggtop fabric protectant" that works great for fabric tops.

What conditioner are you using? I've usually just washed and dried. Most likely won't hurt to get some conditioner. :doh:

The RaggTopp stuff works great for cleaning, but I still prefer to use "303" for the sealant. PROBLEM with this stuff is keeping it OFF the paint & glass. It's a bear to remove overspray so carefully cover everything before applying this (or probably, any) sealant.

I normally use Raggtop for the top, and 303 for the interior.

The raggtop always seems like I am painting laquer clearcoat on the cloth. It works - but leaves me uneasy.

How is the 303 holding up on the exterior? Beads up nice? How long does it last? I might need to try this - especially since I already have 303 on the shelf....
