I have a nearly new top with a dodgy zip. I've tried running a pencil over it, but that hasnt helped much. Any other tips?

I have heard soap or any kind of wax will help a zipper slide along better.

Is it a metal zip? If it's nylon, there isn't much you can do!

Pretty close, though, if you say it quick.

Take it back to shop, not fit for purpose, get a refund.
