Didn't get any response in question and answer forum so I'll try this one. What do you guys use on your vinyl tops?

I use paste black shoe polish...put it on like you would shoes and then use the brush to take it off and a cloth towel to buff it up.

Mop-n-Glo. Been using it on my vinyl top for the past 9 years and it still looks new.

The shoe polish idea was given to me but I havent tried it yet.

sounds like it should work.

Thanks for all the replys. It looks like I might try 303 since its a new top and I just want to keep it that way. Thanks again.

I don't use anything because everything I have used has caused the top to split the moment I stopped using it

Back in the day, before ArmorAll, we used Lemon Pledge on vinyl tops & vinyl seats, never had a problem with it, though it did make the seats a bit slippery. Did the same thing on a vinyl-topped RR I had in the '90s, no problems. I'd wash the top when I washed the car, just regular soapy water (car soap). No real reason for the lemon additive, it's just what I used in the house.

I use this stuff:
http://www.por15.com/POR-GLO/productinfo/VRH/

Works excellent. Just need to be careful when applying not to get it all over (glass, chrome trim). It does clean up, but with some work.

I use it on 2 cars that rarely see weather. Those last like 5+ years between applications.
My other car that gets washed and rained on, I do about every year.

I always get questioned as to what I put on the roofs as they look like they were just cleaned all the time.

It dries totally clean, no tacky feel and will not run or wash down the paint when rained on. Nothing sticks to it, you can use your california duster to just wipe off dust (and you wont mess up the duster with protectant)

It may look odd, but I am telling you it is excellent stuff.

$11 on their site, so not a big deal.
It is a clear liquid, consistancy of thick water.
You apply it with a lint free rag. Just wipe on, let it soak and wipe off excess.
It will be really, really glossy until the solvents evaporate. When I first applied I was concerned, since it looked too shiney. Then after sitting for 1/2 hour it was perfect.
Never tried it on interior. The odor this stuff gives off until it cures is potent. Not sure what exactly is in there.

Ive been using Meguiar's #39 Heavy Duty Vinyl cleaner followed up by Meguiar's #40 Vinyl Cleaner and Conditioner. Both our convert top on the chally and my vinyl top on the charger are white and they clean up like new with that stuff.
