Default soft top cleaner

Hey, my soft top is looking pretty dirty since i never use the proper cleaning chemicals to wash the top. I was wondering which cleaning substance is the best for our s2k tops that is sold locally and which auto store do people buy them from?

thanks

I use raggtop, you can get it from Hawaii truck concepts in waipio or Pakshak on S.I.A. road behind aloha power equipment. It includes a cleaner and protectant, excellent product.

when i got our ST changed out to a robbins unit, the installer said to just use water. then mild car wash soap if necessary. he advised against chemicals. his explanation was that the top had built in protectant, and that constant washing with soap/chemicals would degrade this.

so i just use water, then mild car wash, when necessary. no problems here.


edit: we changed out the top because someone slashed it, not because it wore out or deteriorated.

yeah gotta watch out for shipping. HTC and PakShak seem to stock all the common stuff that the detailing websites stock.
