I was able to find a few threads with top care, but it looks like they all deal with the factory material top. The top I got is twill vinyl. It IS a different material from the one I had from the factory. This is the top I bought:

Anyone have a top like this and have good experience with keeping it clean and to keep it from wearing fast?

 

I believe the OEM top was also vinyl. I would think the best place to get advice on maintenance would be from the manufacturer of your new top.

 

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant. Has UV blocker in the product, and I found really enhanced the look of the black top after I thoroughly cleaned it with a 303 Vinyl Top Cleaner and a stiff-bristle brush, then worked in the 303 Protectant. Brought back water beading as well. I don't think the previous owner took care of the top as they should have, so mine was more of a rescue job.

 

I did reach out to the top manufacturer and they rec the following:

+1 for 303 Aerospace

 

I have heard Ragg Top is a good product, but again I have only used the 303 products with which I am happy.

 

I personally use Ragg Top cleaner and protectant.
