Same here. A week after I treated it I had some bird crap on my top and hit it with my washing mitt dipped in soapy water. Afterward it was like I had never used Ragg Topp. It's too much work for basically no return. Anyone else have a better product/?
EDIT: guess I stepped on the OP too. I blot the top with a regular beach towel.

Cleaned the top with the cleaner and soft brush...rinsed completely and let air-dry overnight. Next afternoon, I applied three coats, each coat I let dry in the sun 10-15 minutes, then pulled back in the shade to apply the next coat. Top looked great, though I had to spend the next hour trying to get the "easy to remove" overspray off my windows. (If I ever use the stuff again, I'll mask the whole frickin car next time). I was cool with all the effort as long as it worked well, but then I was shocked that a week later when I hit the car with the hose to wash it, the top soaked in water just like I'd never applied anything to it. No beading at all. WTF? All that work for nothing?
From all the glowing reviews, I can only assume I did something wrong, but I'm at a loss as to what. 
EDIT...Apologies to the OP...this probably wasnt the best place for the rant...guess seeing the product mentioned kindled my frustration.  For drying, I've always tended to wash mine in the evening, so I just let the top air dry overnight, rather than trying to dry it with anything. Also, the lint roller mentioned above is a must-have for getting rid of the "fuzzies"! They make a "giant" size that works great: Evercare T-Handle Pet Lint Roller - Walmart.com |
