Stunning work on a beautiful car! Great photos too.

You usually wash with SG when you're going to polish & wax?

Usually with dawn. And in some cases with SG car wash or Armorall's - both very inexpensive soaps.

Thank you guys!

May I ask where you heard that? Do know the Raggtopp stuff would be quite safe considering they make a majority of the convertible cleaners, materials etc.
