Our convertible top is beginning to fade and needs to be revived (back to black) Any suggestions on a good product to use?

I use back to black on my Wrangler soft top. It works very well but when it rains it washes away a little and leaves run marks on the paint and windows. It does not hurt the paint and wipes off but it is still a bit annoying.

Lemon Pledge!

The foaming action removes dirt from the top, and the lemon oil rejuvinates the shine back to the top.

Convertibles should be (must be) garaged…

Vinyl top restorer and wax always worked well for me.
