Most BMW soft top is vinyl.nob wrote:I too am using the ragg top.
For me it works great. Once coat of the cleaner and regular coats of the protectant would maintain the condition of the top.
I feel that the Ragg top is aimed at maintaining the condition of the top like leather conditioners.
Heard of the 303 before and many people swear by that too so I guess its worth a try.
As for the dark coating used by the Beamers, I think the top of the beamers are Fabric tops while the s2k is a vinyl top. Hence the effect of the protectant would differ. I haven heard of any adverse reaction if you use a fabric top protectant on a vinyl top so i guess its one of those marketing gimmicks to disect the consumer buying behavior ;p
Anyway, some of the list of different materials in different makes as a guide. Need to check whether the roof is stock or has been replaced before before.
