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.

Yes if it's a vinyl top then Lexol makes the best product to protect it form the elements... Originally Posted by chewbaccajones

1) 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.
