    Remove all the studs from the top. This can be accomplished using water from a water hose. This should not be very difficult because the pH value of RAGGTOPP vinyl and fabric cleaner is very low. Before you move on to the next time, allow enough time for the top to dry completely. You may park the car in sun if you want to speed up the drying process.

    You are just about done cleaning the top. Once it is completely dry, apply a uniform layer of RAGGTOPP fabric protectant or RAGGTOPP vinyl protectant depending on the material which was used to manufacture the top you are cleaning. Spray a coat of fabric or vinyl protectant and allow time for it to dry completely. Wipe clean with a microfiber towel. Check and see if another coat of fabric or vinyl protectant is required or not.
