Convertible Top Care

Hey guys I have a Silver Top on my Cab and it has some spots of dirt on it. When I get the car washed they clean the top but not a detailed cleaning of it. Is there any thing you guys use to clean the top and refresh it. I spoke with a guy and said these tops are very sensitive to some products just to use mild soap and a soft brush. Anyone else have a light colored top experience this. Thanks

Try raggtop products. Porsche's top cleaner is essentially a car wash from what I can tell.

Another vote for Raggtop products, also I believe you are supposed to treat the top (waterproof) every so often.

Cab top maint.

Raggtopp products are the best. They have both a cleaner and a waterproofing product. You can buy them as a twin pack. I waterproof once a year (or more often depending on where I park, stains, etc) after a good cleaning (and full drying) before the hardtop goes on for the NE winter season.
