Heavy duty Armor all is  my "go to" product.  Just be aware that as the vinyl soaks in the product, your vinyl will become increasing reflective ( a "look" that you may not find attractive).   Over time, with rain and especially with sun, the vinyl will dull again.  In  my experience a bi monthly application helps to retard rust from forming and helps to extend the life of the vinyl.  I trust others will have suggestions as well,  James

What color is the top? 

If black, Back to Black works well with a lil too much shine as does Forever Black that's more of a black top restorative product if you have some fading.  Forever black is a mat finish.  I finally cleaned the top thoroughly and used it. Seems to really work well without making it shiny.

I have focused all my searching on what works with black so I don't have an answer.
