Best Care For Vinyl Tops??

[64 SRT8 Dart]

Hey, anyone know what the best care is to keep a vinyl top looking great and to keep from cracking/ripping/fading??
What about armor all??
Mink oil??

The 66 Valiant has a fairly new top and I want to keep it looking good!

Thanks!

Armor All? UGH!
303 is the best stuff out there, hands down. A little pricey, but not as much as a new top.

I've used 303 on my truck tonneau. I like it, but it streaks down the side when it rains and is gone...

I use stuff recomended by a professional show detailer. its called RaggTop. Its made in 2 formulas, 1 for vinyl, 1 for fabric.

I used it on a sunbaked vinyl convertible black top. It took 2 applications, but looked like new, and held up for months. Spray bottle application. Mail ordered it from Florida.

Don't take this as a smart-*** answer because I don't mean it like it may sound. The answer is ............a garage. Keep it out of the elements if you possibly can. It truly is the best way to keep it looking new.

you can use a very small amount of vinyl conditioner,then dull the shine by going over it again with a rag damped with something like simple green.You will have to re apply everytime you wash it or when it rains.
Or,you can get a cheap car canopy if you dont have a garage.=)
