I only used it -gently - if there was a particularly dirty spot that needed some massaging. Even then, I generally used it over the whole top, to prevent any inconsistencies in the surface.

Car is garaged, so doesn’t get too exposed, though.

Just wanted to share my experience with top protection. I used Chemical guys convertible top protection then about a week later I put Adams advanced graphene spray coating. The water just beads and doesn’t seem to be absorbing into the fabric much.

I also use a horsehair brush, lint roller, and rinse with water (when washing the car) to keep it looking clean. I’ve never used soap on it so far

Just want to add, I typically shy away from white/gray/black cars, but I really like the Skyscraper Gray you have. I've seen a few others for sale online and think its look really good. I especially like it with the Magma interior. Great choice!

Waiting for the weather to get a little better to be able to go somewhere and take legit pictures of it

I use one. I have two cats and a dog. Hair is everywhere. SO yeah I absolutelyuse one after I wash my car to get stray hairs, dust and other debris. Just one of those tape ones.

I use Duct tape... Works much better than lint rollers and is cost-effective

I’ve found dollar stores as the perfect place to buy lint rollers and gift bags. Stuff that’s way over-priced at like Target or a similar store .

Did you use the two as part of a plan or were you not happy and then went with Adams? Just wondering if I have to buy two products or will one do. Thanks!

IMHO duct tape takes way too long to clean the top and a lint roller can be purchased at a relatively inexpensive price and is extremely effective cleaning the top. I like to roll. 😀

No the chemical guys is fine. I just wanted to add another layer of protection with the Adams

For some reason, I always get a lot of the little puffy things like what you get from dandelions on the roof of my car, when it is parked in my garage. I don't know why, there are never any dandelions in my yard. So a lint roller comes in real handy.

I have a white indoor/outdoor cat and when I had the S30 if I forgot to cover the car he would sit on the roof and leave mountains of white hairs. A heavy duty lint roller did the trick.
I don't leave my car uncovered anymore.
