Twill Drill

Well..I don't know that it's really twill, but, what's my beauty regimine going to be regards the convertible top on my impending MCSC?

It's cloth..dark blue...I'm in Denver where everything fades...so there's the issue of cleaning it and the issue of protecting it.

Peter...screaming for help..in advance..in Denver

There are a couple products you should consider. Porsche makes a Protectant for cloth tops. I have used it for years with good results. I have also heard great things about Ragg Topp Protectant. Here's a few tips on what you will need to know about maintaining your new softop.

Thanks Brad...

I've been noodling around NACC but hadn't bumped into the How-to section yet. I have ordered a selection of brushes and MF towels from them. Just ordered a Zaino Kit as well....starting out on my DD Olds Silhouette, then to my wife's CR-V ...by the time our MCSC gets here I might have a clue as to what to do!!

I found a referrence to Raggtop in the forums on Autopia as well...seems that that is the product of choice..I just hope it retards fading as well as they say it seals.

Peter...looking at boat covers that sit outside and getting very nervous...in Denver
