Default Cleaning the soft top

My top has a couple spots in it, and I got some polishing cream on it creating a white spot or two. What is a good product to use to clean/condition the top?

thanks and yes I searched didn't find anything useful

Raggtop has a cleaner and conditioner for vinyl tops, 303 Aerospace is also a popular choice. Two top products. Lots of info on these products in the wash and wax forum. hth.

303 and raggtop are both good products for the top. i like the raggtop better because it has one bottle for cleaning and one for conditioning.

i use 303 for my dash and other vinyls and plastics and its great.

for some reason, just personal preference i guess, i prefer using products that have 1 specific job (like a cleaner, and a conditioner) opposed to things that say they clean, condition, protect, restore... but that isnt to say the 303 isnt great. if i had to choose only 1 of the 2 i would go for 303 because it does a good job at many things. but i think raggtop does an amazing job at what its intended for.

use either, just giving my 2 cents

oh, and look in the wash and wax section.

Is there a place that carries the 303 stuff on the shelf so i don't have to order from amazon or something, because i'm wanting to clean and protect my softtop to keep it nice.

does the raggtop or 303 stuff leave a oily film?
I used a armorall vinyl protectant on my top and when it rains, the oil starts leaking onto the car windows and panels so im constantly wiping that oily streak away..
maybe i'm spraying too much i guess.
