Default Cleaning My Soft Top....

Any tips on what to use for cleaning my soft top? I left my car outside for the past 3-4 weeks while traveling. Well I will tell you..Once I got back it was SO DIRTY it looked like it was part of an Industrial Dirt Test [:-]

Now the Convertible top has the element of ingrained dirt! What should I use to give the top a right good wash, and bring it back to how it should be????

Thanks in advance for the help!

My first thought is that a good wash using a soft brush will be all you need, but if you want to go to the next step, there are products for the vinyl top. I like Griot's Garage for all my cleaning "stuff"... but have heard that Ragg Topp is good too...

TWO WORDS:
RAGG TOPP

I'll say it again:
RAGG TOPP.

Used it on my 05 and my in laws 04 verts. The 05 was in good shape before, but the biggest difference was in the 04 as it had a definite pollen cast to it. It looks better then it did when they bought it.

One problem with the Ragg Topp is that the first couple of times it rains after using it, the windows get a film on them. Not a big deal, but noticible.

The nice thing is the water just beads up after you are done.

Follow the directions on the Autogeek website and you won't be disappointed. Basically wash it with a brush and car soap, use the Ragg Topp Cleaner, then the Ragg Topp treatment. I used a microfiber towel to apply it.

HTH.
