Convertible Top -- Cleaning and Care

[PIT VPR]

Does anyone have any suggestions for the cleaning and care of the SRT's convertible top? I have applied scotchguard to other convertibles that I own to protect from staining, spots, etc. and probably will do the same to my SRT's top, but would like others' suggestions before I do.

The only thing I do to it is I will wash the top with mild soap. I noticed that Zaino or Zymol car wash seems to do OK without harming it so far. I use a soft brissle brush with light storkes to clean the dirt if it's been through particularly dusty conditions. I rinse with a light shower setting on the hose to get the soap off then let it dry completely before folding the top down. If lint seems to be a problem, one of the roller brushes for clothes with the sticky surface on the roller seems to work nicely if the vacuum is not doing the job. I haven't tried scotchguard as yet, but I believe on a previous post someone said not to use it. There is a top sealant that Porsche recommends that is supposed to be better.

Thie stuff is the real deal. Been on my top for years no fade. Water rolls off like it was waxed!
