Ragg Topp all the way. You can also get it at www.Autogeek.net. I would check all sites recommended for best price. All beware of shipping charges. They appear to be going up due to increased fuel cost I think.

There is a thread around somewhere talking about problems with using the conditioner/sealer. It seems that a few people were not letting their top completely dry before applying the sealer. Sealing in moisture, which leads to fungal growth, and areas of fabric decay. Remember... If you are going to use a sealer on your top, after you wash it, use a "Shop Vac" to extract most of the water, then let it dry overnight in the garage then out in the direct sun for at least an hour. Just make sure that the top is completely DRY. Then apply the sealer.

I totally agree. Recommendation is 24 hours of drying time before applying sealer. That also means avoiding retracting the top during the drying time.
