Looking after the Soft Top

Post by Azza » Fri Oct 05, 2007 8:26 pm

Hi,
I have recently bought a mx5 and am wondering what ican put on the roof to protect it from the sun etc. I have some soft top cleaner for when i wash it, bu there must be something that you guys use to protect the roof.

Hi, I use Product 303 aerospace protectant with spf40. Once the top was washed with a cleaner and the first coat applied, then I just rinse with water to float off the crap and use the 303 periodically. It is only a club day car so serves alot of time in the garage. It is the only product I have seen locally with out having to import, it is one of the top 3 used enthusiests in Uk and USA. There is a product sold in Australia by Mazda but not avalible here as far as I have found. I did have a part number some where for it.
Cheers
Would you believe a small Ferrari, then how about a little red Corvette, well what about a classic red mx5.

On recommendation I use Mothers Protectant, from Repco (I think.)

It's worked for me and puts a bit of life back into the appearance as well..

The suggestion seems to be that you don't want anything silicone based ?
