Armerall makes A vynal cleaner that is also A UV protector kinda like sunblock for the car. i used on the inside of my car and it cleaned it up really nicley and it stay that way for quite a while. I recieved a $120 dollar armerall package and it had EVERYTHING in it. works great and the UV protect comes in a hairspray type bottle. great stuff.:pianodance:

Is it a vinyl top or cloth top?

Yes if it's a vinyl top then Lexol makes the best product to protect it form the elements...
If its the cloth top like the GT500 has then you have two options..
1) Cover it!
2) Cover it!!

Hey Thanks! It is a vinyl top. My new neighbor just moving in across the street. also told me about Lexol. He has a small convertible sports car, and has a cover on it, so not sure what kind but it's not a Mustang. I used "303 fabric/vinyl Convertible Top Cleaner" to clean it. Then I used "Turtle Wax F21 Super Protectant with Sun Stop". It looks 100% better. Only problem is some of the Protectant got on the rear glass convertible top window, and I had to keep cleaning it. It kept smearing and streaking. I will get some of the Lexol.
I'm really loving my new Mustang, it has been a long time since I had a newer vehicle.

RAGGTOPP ... the ONLY cleaner and Protectant I have and will ever use on mine.
It's the only one endorsed by top material makers.

Thanks!
I didn't find the Lexol where my neighbor told me he bought it, and our two major automotive parts retailers here in Mesa didn't have the RaggTopp brand.
I went on the manufacturer "Wolfsteins pro-series" website, and I see
good old JC Whitney carries it, so I guess I could order it. I also took Jacostang's advice, and bought a cover for it yesterday.

Last time I ordered my RaggTopp products was through the www.scottdrake.net Website. They're in Henderson so it didn't take long for my stuff to get here. :)

Thanks Blackmagic1. I just briefly checked it out, and it looks like a real good site. I'm going to have to go back later when I have more time. Right now I should be looking over my tax return, so I can get then sent in.
