Bestop makes some quality soft top care products. I know Quadratec carries this.

STAY AWAY from the Bestop window cleaner!!! The fabric cleaner and protector work great but the cleaner will stain your windows and is a huge PIA to take off. Long story short, if it comes in the 3-pack, just throw it away!

If you have a west marine or boating store nearby, they may have it. That's where I found mine.

Armorall makes a gel that works really well, simply called Protectant its a thick yellow gel. I apply that stuff (rub and scrub it in until its saturated) then spray the seams with tent/camping gear canvas water repellent/conditioner. Since I have a hardtop I try condition it once in the winter since I store it in a heated room.No cracking, fading or leaking. Also works great on fender flares and bumper and hardtop as well..

I'm using 303 aerospace protectant. It may be hard to find locally, but check with ACE or Napa. If they don't have it check wit your local marine supply. It's great stuff it has SPF 40 in the formula and you can use it on the engine, windows, top, interior, and tires. I think you will be happy with this product.
