Vinylex.. Its in a blue bottle and is sold at most chain auto parts stores.. Its a bit pricey but does an excellent job, cleaner and condition all in one..

I have always used "303 Aerospace Protectant" on vinyl and rubber. Really good stuff!!

If you can't find it try a boating store.

I'd vote for 303.

I've always used Meguiars #40 vinyl cleaner & conditioner. First time with a scrub brush to really get it clean. Works and looks great!

POR-15's "Por Glo" is good for vinyl roofs that have been neglected or have had a bit too much sun. Lasts for a year or more, depending on exposure. Its thick, goes on like varnish or something. Might be a little glossy/thick looking for some tastes. Works like it says, though. I used it on a '69 Firebird (black textured, very dull finish prior) and a low mile mid'80's Crown Vic coupe (smooth blue padded vinyl).

Thanks Tom.

I also recomend 303. I bought a SeaRay Boat a few years ago and the factory recomended this on the seats due to the enviroment involved. I am very pleased with 303.

Do it with Pledge a couple times and it will look great. No build-up! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

I applied that to the vinyl top on my Camaro about nine years ago and it still looks good--but the car is in the garage 99% of the time so it doesn't get exposed to sun as much as a daily driver car would. Pretty shiny too so POR might not be for all tastes. Oh, and that night after I applied the POR-15 dressing the smell in the garage was so intense that it got into the house and we had to open all the windows in the house. My wife was pissed about that--I had interfered with her beauty sleep.

Yep..That was popular back then....Like you, I still use it today...my better half keeps hiding it on me though...

[markinnaples]

I was searching for a post on cleaning an old vinyl top and came across this one, but since it's almost 13 years old, I figured I'd resurrect it and see what new products have come out since then.

What are your recommendations for cleaning and then protecting an old vinyl top?

[Chevelle SS 396 L78]

I’d probably use something like Vinylex. But seeing that old response using Pledge made me laugh. Back in the day (late 60’s) many of us used pledge on our cars paint once cleaned. For some reason it worked, but it did draw flies! Ha!
