Covertible Top...Is it Vinyl or Fabric?

I am going to order some 303 convertible top kit and they have one for vinyl and one for Fabric. Just want to make sure I get the right one. Mine is an 09 Black....

All BMNW soft tops are fabric - and Raggtopp cleaner & protectant have working beautifully on the 3 that I've owned.

How often do you use the cleaner and protectant? I'm thinking that every 6 months or so is adequate. Is that your experience?

I'm lazy enough that I only use the cleaner about once a year and normally just wash the top with the same zymol wash soap I use on the rest of the car. But I do treat the top with RaggTopp Protectant after every third wash - it takes all of 5 minutes or so, which includes wiping off any overspray. A good rule of thumb us that when water stops beading off the top, it's time for more protectant.
