Default Vert Guys HELP

Just wondering what you guys use to clean your vert top. mine is seems to be faded a little and it looks a little worn. i was going to dye it but i heard it will just wash out. ive tried numerous different soaps and brushes but no difference. thanks

I used Formula 303 Aerosprace Covertible Top Cleaner and then follow that up with their Vinyl Conditioner and it looks as black as the day it was installed!

the formula aerospace conditioner is a great idea, I use that, or sometimes I use a leather conditioner called bees wax, it works really, really well, my car really does look almost brand new, which is pretty amazing considering it's a 9 year old car

just so you vert guys dont go through a back window replacement... the bolts on the 2 pistons connected to the top that drive it up and down.. NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF!!

Take the bolts off and apply loctite and put them back on. Our car's bolts love to loosen so when you lower the top it potentially could crack the back window (what happened to me, shop guy says its common in stangs) just a little advice for you. good luck!!

p.s. i had a tan top, try cleaning that [&:] haha

EDIT: they are nuts not bolts.. wtf was i thinking haha.
