How do you clean your top?
This is my first convertible. What do you guys do to clean or condition the top? Is there anything I should watch out for?

and if you have a choice-
i keep mine under the boot almost all the time.
it still looks like new after 3+ years, and has only been washed twice!
when i cleaned it, i used porsche top cleaner, but i agree with whaler- no need to use that stuff... you can use any good car shampoo. i used vinylex, but 303 is good too.
whatever you use to preserve it, be sure to wipe down really well. and apply to the rag (then wipe it on the car) not directly to the top.

I have a 3M product I found in the boat section of my local Wal-Mart, supposedly has UV protection in it. It keeps my top nice and black and makes water bead off of it for a month or so at a time, pretty pleased with it.
