I did a lot of research on this myself visiting different boards. I found that the BMW guys used the 303 cleaner and protectant products with great results. I used it on mine and it works great. I did read that you needed to do it every year for maximum protection.

I used the 303 cleaner and sealant. Be very careful that you don't leave any of the sealant on the paint. Wipe it up quickly if you do. If you miss a spot, it takes a fair amount of effort to get it off. /cough

I don't know that Jag has an 'approved' list for roof maintenance. I did the treatment in October, and it's still going strong here in March. And yes, I actually drive it in the rain around here. ;D

Rain is not something we get to see often here in Phoenix, however we do get a LOT of UV, which can really fade top color and condition (and paint) in a surprisingly short time.
Are these products going to do much against UV?

I've used RaggTopp on my S2000. Car was outside everday for 4 years in New England weather and the top beaded like new. Apply twice a year.

Just regular carwash soap when cleaning. Don't want to strip the protection off with harsh cleaners....
