My top is light beige so I will be careful. It is a '05 Z4 which I bought
used ($10k miles) and I don't think anybody has washed or treated it.

You are welcome. As I didn't mean to infer that Autogeek had the best
price, I'm glad you found the Amazon site. I read the review that panned it
and it seems that this guy might have used the vinyl protectant on his
boxster's cloth top - which is probably not a good idea. If not, then you
might want to try it out on a small section of your top to see if you have
the same discoloration issue he reported. As I've only used it on black
tops, I haven't had this problem.

Thanks. Amazon has it for sale at a better price. One review said it
worked great after trial and error while the other review REALLY panned it.

RaggTopp.
I use regular car washing soap and the Raggtopp fabric protectant - but you
may wish to get the Raggtopp cleaner as well. The protectant is simply
sprayed on and works extremely well.

Just bought a used (10k miles) Z4 with a light tan rag top. Any suggestions
on what to use to clean it and possibly water proof it? BMW has its own
line of course but they are some other brand with their logo stamped on it
so the price can triple.
