Having new black convertible top installed, any recommendations on how to care for top?  ie:top care products for treatment? Cleaners?

I would ask the shop what they recommend. 
73 Eldo convert w/FiTech EFI, over 30 years of ownership and counting
Somewhat recently deceased daily drivers, 80 Eldo Diesel & 90 CDV
And other assorted stuff I keep buying for some reason

After some further research online, the consensus seems to be that “Ragg Top”line of products offer the best protection.

I recently cleaned my white top with 'Marine Spray Nine' (with stunning results) and then applied '303 Aerospace Protectant'. This was after  lot of googling to work out what i should go with, my top was installed in '95, but after cleaning it looks like new again :)
