Yip, can vouch for the Autoglym product. Be careful not to overspray the fluid on the paint or windows - it's tricky to remove it once dry.

Whoa. There fellas,
You need Ragg topp cleaner and protectant.
It's the only stuff Harttz the actual material manufacturer recommends for safe use
I am not keen on Autoglym stuff at all.
I read on a forum about using fabsil, so used it on my roof, yes it waterproofed it, but it also I believe it dissolved the glue that sticks the material along the sides that form the channel where the side tension cable runs, so now my cables pop out when raising and lowering the top.
From now on I will only be using Ragg topp stuff.
There are other products out there and for vynil 303 aerospace protectant seems to be the top choice.
Also Renovo do some roof care products too.

Hi there, thanks ever so much for the advice and the honesty with the products fore mentioned. I'm in much agreement with you in how Autoglym is such a waste of money. Can you tell me where I could get the Raggtopp cleaner and protector from also this Vynil 303 aerospace as well
Cheers

303 Aerospace is what ive been using but I find a spray on product a nightmare to use as it gets everywhere.
When I get my golf back im going to switch to Renovo as there stuff is brush on.
