Hey there!

I’ve found a lot of information on how to clean and seal a soft top, but I haven’t found anything on how to make the top look ‘hydrated’ so to speak.

As one can imagine, an 04 CLK55 that although is covered 70% of the time, gets driven often in the sun. The top on my car looks great, and I have no qualms with it - but when I look at it, I wonder if there is a wax, balm, or petroleum(? I have no idea) based product that I could use to make the top look more lush and healthy looking, like a pair of nice leather shoes after putting conditioner on them and wiping them down. Hand cream to hands in winter, etc,

Anyway. I’m sure someone has thought of this. I’m typing in “Mercedes/fabric top conditioners” but just seeing cleaners. I’m not seeing much but I may be searching the wrong keywords.

Thanks in advance. I’m planning on sealing my top in the near future, and want to do this before I do that, if possible.

Hi Rudeney, I figured you may have some input on this. So, in your experience, the “Neverwet” makes the canvas look like “Alwayswet”? I’m looking to get the top a little darker as I think it’ll look pretty slick. Like i said, love the way the AMG looks but want to make it look like new again.

Thanks for the replies y’all - still looking to see if there’s anyone that’s been crazy enough to try and do something like a linseed oil or mineral oil and then sealed it to make the fabric darken (I know it’s a bad idea, but it seems like the outer fabric is superficial so I’m wondering if there’s a way to naturally darken it without compromising the integrity of the fabric long-term)

I’ve used Raggtop the last 5 years, and applied twice (Spring & Fall) the last 2. I feel this keeps the top looking “darker” for a longer period of time.
