Targa top protectant
To keep the vinyl targa top from fading and drying out in the hot sun, which type of protectant should I use?

Agreed. UV will destroy it in time. Just limit the exposure time.

Think about it, what is the worst environment vinyl can be in?
Marine!! I used this stuff and it made the top soft and not greasy at all and it lasted through a couple of car washes as well. PM me if you cannot find it and I'll send you a bottle.

I have used Vinylex for the past 6 years and the top looks great.

I'll throw in a plug for 303 Protectant also. There are probably better products out there, but this stuff seems to work very well. It's kept my 32 year old dash crack-free so far...
