Default Treatment/cleaning of the top.

My other car, a 2001 MR2 Spyder, has a cloth top. Not sure what material is on the 2008 Z I bought and not sure what to put on it for UV protection.

My '06ZR top was vinyl over canvas, changed to a nicer canvas top in '15, dyi.

Now that it is clean, is there any recommended product to treat the top for UV protection?

i heard 303 products are good for tops

http://www.detailedimage.com/303-M2/...-P14/16-oz-S1/

Just spray the 303 Fabric Guard (Formally known as the 303 High Tech Fabric Guard) on any fabric and the strong solution will bond to your carpets and seal the fibers for long lasting protection. Even the most careful owners can accidentally step in grease or have careless passengers that stain fabrics. The barrier created by the Fabric Guard will help repel stains, soil, harmful UV rays, water, mildew, salt, soda, coffee and anything else your fabrics come in contact with. This product has saved many people from scrubbing out embedded stains, excessive soil build-up, spills and more. It's designed for use on carpets, fabric seats, fabric/canvas convertible tops, fabric upholstery and more. It's critical to use spray on a coating of the Fabric Guard before winter, to prevent nasty salt stains that can be really tough to clean. Don't forget to use it in the summer months as well to prevent UV fading. The strong bond it forms with any fabric protects the surface while still allowing the fibers to breathe and remain flexible. Contamination build ups and accidents will happen and the 303 Fabric Guard will be there to protect your fabrics.
