Default Cleaning the soft top

So I finally gave into temptation a couple of weeks ago and took the hard top off. But with all the salt etc on the roads, the soft top has got really dirty already - streaked with white at the moment!

So what do all use to clean the soft top - I don't mean to colour it or anything, just simply what to use to get the marks off when giving the car a general clean?

Thanks

Damp cloth, and sometimes Autoglym vinyl cleaner.

I have only ever used a sponge and Zymol Auto Wash, The roof looks fine after 12 months.

Just make sure the roof doesn't stay dirty for too long.... expecially bird crap!!!!

Just wash it, as you do the car.

You can use Autoglym vinyl protectant or 303 proctectant too, but in moderation, check the Tech FAQ - there is load of info there

dont spray the Autoglym on - pour some into a container and apply sparingly with a sponge.
