Best way to clean a dirty convertible top?
Had some rain here recently, and combined with the local cat population of several billion, my vert top is now sporting a huge amount of muddy paw prints. Tried getting at it with soapy water which didnt seem to do much :-)
Any suggestions?

What color top?
Vert tops are a pain to keep clean. Unless you park your car indoor all the time and never drive it, these thiongs just don't seem to last much more than about 8 - 10 years. Mine is 5 years old, and I will probably pull it off next year (mine is tan). One of the problems with a top is that harsh chemicals that work get on the paint, so options are limited. What I do is use top cleaner. It is in a blue and white bottle and is pretty strong. I forget the brand. I generally hit the top when I am gonna wax anyway. Good luck.
