you could try a product called raggtop. it works pretty well. for over the counter stuff, i would use some all purpose cleaner (simple green etc) diluted to about a 1:5 ratio. if it doesnt work at that strength, then add a little more. you dont have to worry too much about discoloration like the rest of us.

ok, thanks. I'll give it a shot. Might have been a mistake to get a white top but thought it looked better with red body.

use goop hand cleaner ......get dirt and grease off the top with a little scrubbing ...the nice thing is that it will not dry out the top it acts like conditionor......best thing i ever used an old man that restores told me about it...i love it .....
