factory textured vinyl roof-goo suggestion

["Rog & Jan van Hoy" <vanhilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I second Kerry's nomination.  I've been using Clear Guard
for 15 years on my vinyl including convertible top and it
works great!  Be sure to clean well first with a good vinyl
cleaner.

| I would suggest Clear Gaurd as a potential candidate for
| your roof, and decidedly for your tires and some interior
| parts.
|
| I think that it's from Johnson Wax, but not certain.  It
| comes in a clear 409 sized spray bottle with a yellow (I
| think) sprayer.  Clear label has a colored stripe a-la the
| BMW M diagonal stripe.  National Car parts chains are
where
| I get my fixes.
|
| It goes on wet.  Wipe off with a cloth.  Leaves a matte
| sheen that makes tires look new without making them look
| like you actually "did" anything to them like the shiney
| shine stuff does.
|
| This may contain silicates, and another poster warned of
| the evils of diminishing returns over time with use, so
| buyer beware, but my tires love this stuff, and I've used
| it with satisfaction for years.  Tires aren't tops though.
