Raggtopp on other fabrics?
Hello. I'm becoming a new, first-time mini owner this week (Chili Red with black cloth interior) and am wondering if anyone has ever tried using RaggTopp on fabrics other than a convertible top. Any reason I shouldn't use it on a fabric interior?

I find that after application, it tends to run onto the windows a little after
a rain (on my wife's VW Cabrio with fabric top - don't have a MINI Cabrio).
It might transfer somewhat to the fabrics you are wearing if you put it
on a fabric interior, which could possibly be a problem with some clothing.
I'm just making an educated guess.

Also, for interior fabrics that aren't exposed to as much sun/weather, I think ScotchGard or one of the other interior fabric protectants would probably be equally-effective (and significantly cheaper).
I haven't tried RaggTopp, but I use 303 Fabric Guard on the MINI's top, carpets and seat without issue. I also used it on the heat shield on the underside of the bonnet. It really helps with keeping it clean.

Both RaggTopp Fabric Protectant and 303 Fabric Guard are appropriate and beneficial on interior fabric surfaces.
In both cases, you want to make sure you allow it to dry thoroughly. Of course, the actual time needed will depend on how much you use, air temperature, and humidity level. Generally speaking, I recommend 24 hours.
Either product will offer a strong protective barrier (yet breathable). After using either one, you can pour a glass of water on your seats and the water will literally just roll right off.
Either one will last a very long time too (longer than products like Scotchguard, etc).
I personally use 303 Fabric Guard in the most non-traditional ways, including fabric interiors, dog beds, etc! For these particular uses, I prefer the 303 trigger-spray over the RaggTopp aerosol. (aerosols, IMO, are too hard to control in preventing overspray onto everything else)
That said, if you're getting the RaggTopp anyway and want to multi-task it then it'll work just as well! Either product will do an excellent job.
