RAGGTOPP / Haartz
Convertible Top Cleaner and Protectant System
One of the clearest examples of why material-specific products matter: fabric and vinyl tops use different protectants even though the cleaner may cover both.
The chemistry
The cleaner loosens embedded organic and traffic soil; the matched protectant forms a water- and UV-resistant layer designed for either woven acrylic fabric or vinyl.
Use it when
- Routine care of a known fabric or vinyl convertible top
- The owner can identify the top material
- The top can dry fully before protection
Compatible surfaces
- Haartz-type cloth tops with the fabric protectant
- Vinyl tops with the vinyl protectant
- Compatible soft-top windows only with their own approved cleaner
Avoid or verify first
- Using fabric protectant on vinyl or vice versa
- Household bleach, stiff brushes or pressure washing seams
- Folding or covering the top before it is fully dry and cured
How to use Convertible Top Cleaner and Protectant System safely
- 1Vacuum loose debris, rinse and apply the compatible cleaner across the whole top.
- 2Allow the manufacturer-recommended dwell, then lightly agitate with a soft approved brush and rinse thoroughly.
- 3Dry completely and apply the protectant made for the identified top material in even coats.
