A survival kit for your convertible's leather interior!
Raggtopp has put their considerable cleaning and UV-protection experience together to address an overlooked area of convertible ownership - leather interiors. Gone are the days when convertibles only came with cloth or vinyl interiors. BMW, Audi, Volvo, Mercedes, Lexus, Porsche, Ferrari, VW, Honda, Mazda and Aston Martin all make cabriolets with sumptuous leather interiors.
If you're new to convertible ownership, you'll quickly discover the joys and perils of top-down motoring and parking. With the wind-in-your-hair enjoyment comes all manner of airborne contamination which coats every inch of your car's interior. Now park with the top down to run a quick errand and the sun bakes this mixture of grime and perspiration into the leather. Park under a tree for shade? Forget it! The acid in leaves, tree sap and bird droppings await the unprotected interior. It's a fact of life that convertible interiors get dirtier quicker and are harder to clean than enclosed sedans.
Customer comments: "I just read about this kit in your newsletter and thought you might be interested in a Focus Group that my company just completed. We had 30 males and 17 females sample a variety of leather products. Over 25 of the participants owned a convertible and the majority of them had leather seats. The biggest complaint among this group was premature leather aging (cracking) from perspiration stains. As you know, perspiration = salt = dry, cracked leather. Two of the members were tennis players. Both owned Lexus convertibles that had driver's seats showing stains and cracks from sweat and not wiping down the seat after each date on the court.
Thank you for bringing this problem to the attention of convertible owners and for offering a solution, i.e. products that can be kept in the car to use as needed." Rick G., Atlanta, GA
