I use 3M car wash soap to clean and 3M Outdoor fabric scotchguard to protect.

Ok,
For the folks interested in PVC...
PVC and vinyl are NOT always interchangeable! I could go on for hours, but here is a site for anyone interested.
http://www-org.usm.edu/~lisproj/polymer/ma...crog/vinyl.html
They also describe PVC and various polyesters. I will be happy to expound if anyone really wants to know.
Thanks.

So is the porsche stuff ok? I bought the shampoo and the conditioner already. Can someone translate the German on the bottles?

We had this discussion in the wash and wax forum.

Here's a link to an article that discusses how to care for vinyl tops. You can use Meguiars #40 or Lexol Vinylex. I use Meguiars #40 on my top and it makes it look really nice. I only do it once a year though. That's the advantage of living in So Cal.

Hope this helps.

The answer is clear - keep the top in the boot like it was ment to be. As one auto writer said, the top shouldn't be up in the S2000 unless the storm's so bad it has a name!

It would be nice to know what HONDA recommends. I don't seem to remember any mention of washing the top in the owners manual. I may need to look again.
