What can I use on the vinyl top to protect it and make it shine?

I've got vinyl tops on both my cars and they're a bit dull, plus I'd like to protect them from the sun. I used to use Armorall, but when it rained it made streaks like crazy all over my windows and was a pain to clean off. Also collected dust faster. I now just use that for the interiors. Is there anything special out there I can use for them? Thanks.

Thanks Al, I'll do that. I've had good luck with Mothers & Meguiars, I use their wax and polish. Didn't know there was anything else out there besides Armorall until now.

My buddy uses baby oil on his 71 Monte. He just wipes it on with one cloth and then wipes it down with a clean dry cloth.

DOnt have a rag top but I second the mothers. They make good stuff and unlike amorall you can wipe it after it sets up and it will dull out a little but not too much so it deepens the black but deosnt look all plastic. Also doesnt runn off and streak as much as the amorall junk.

I never thought about the baby oil deal.
