303 cleaner + protectant is great, and raggtop is a popular choice as well

Honda doesn't specifically recommend these but these are two popular options. Don't overlook the countless prior top care threads.

I've used the RagTopp and 303 Fabric protectant and found the 303 to be vastly superior - it is more water repellent and lasts longer. The way it beads water is amazing. Follow the instructions and let it fully cure in the sun before exposing to water.

For general care I usually just hose it down well and use my wash mitt with car wash soap. Every once in a while (2-3 times a year) I'll bust out the horse hair brush, RagTopp cleaner, then finish with 303 protectant. Pay attention to the seams and the flaps that go over the glass, dirt and leaves tend to get trapped in there.

Another vote for using 303 as it offers offer UV protection. It can also be used on other plastic/rubber pieces.

303 here too! I've been using the 303 Aerospace Protectant on my interior for years now and can't complain about that either!

I found 303 to be very hard to remove from painted or glass surfaces that were "over sprayed". What is the best application method? I useda new applicator pad.

I used the 303 too and I just wiped the over spray all off with a couple of microfibre cloths. Keep turning them to get clean sides and maybe follow up with a quick detailer/spray wax
