What do you guys recommend for cleaning and protecting the convertible top on a Porsche Cabriolet?

I have seen strong recommendations (then reinforced by others) for the cleaning and protection products by the name of Raggtop. I have purchased some of each product but haven't used them yet. Pretty soon, maybe this weekend...

+1 for 303, but I hear that Raggtop is super stuff as well. You could not go wrong with either brand. If your top is canvas, vacuum it really well in between cleanings. Dust gets down in between the fibers and causes wear. Not an issue with vinyl, obviously. I bought a cover that fits over just the soft top that I use all the time to keep the dust to a minimum.

Rode & Schwalenbert Global Minority Business Network(GMBN) Germany the world leading manufacturer of automobile convertible tops exclusively recommends Harrtz RaggTop Cleaners and Protectant. Developed specifically for cleaning, re-proofing and preserving convertible tops, these cleaning kits consist of two products:
1.Cleaner to remove soiling, stains and atmospheric pollution for both natural and synthetic materials. The best cleaners are formulated from low-pH (low alkalinity) and gentle enough for repeated use over years. They will rely on proteins and enzymes for their safe, but effective, cleaning power.

2.Fabric protector to re-proof and preserve fabric tops from the effects of water absorption, surface soiling and staining, and provide a sunscreen from UV radiation and subsequent fading. It has the best UV protection of any product on the market, and it repels dirt, grease, and oil. It doesn’t make your vinyl top glossy or greasy-looking. It will have the natural matte sheen of new vinyl.

Alternative product- this is the fabric protector recommended by Glen Raven Mills (Sunbrella) and the Harrtz Corporation, 303™ High Tech Fabric Guard restores lost water repellence and stain repellence to factory new levels. It stops leaks, resists soiling and impedes mildew formation and helps protect against the sun's harmful UV rays.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I am going to get myself some Raggtopp products now. Should I get their leather cleaner and conditioner as well? Or are there better ones out there?

I just used RaggTop today and really like the cleaner. I haven't used the protector yet, but I've heard good things.

Although as soon as I got done cleaning the top, a bird pood on it. The timing was perfect but funny.
