Haartz Care Guide: Cloth Convertible Tops

March 18, 2016 By Nadeem

Auto Upholstery - The Hog Ring - The Haartz Corporation - RaggTopp Cleaner

It’s not enough to sell and install convertible tops. Auto upholstery shops that want to distinguish themselves as convertible top experts should also teach customers how to care for their new tops and even sell products, like RaggTopp Cleaner and Protectant, to help them do just that.

In January, we collaborated with The Haartz Corporation, the world’s leading manufacturer of convertible topping, to publish a one-page care guide for vinyl tops that upholstery shops can print and leave in customers’ cars. This month, we’ve done the same for cloth tops.

With the exception of some minor differences, the two care guides are very similar.
