I use a vacuum with a brush attachment. Just enough to loosen the pollen, not rub it in. Also, I find that I use the boot more often just to avoid the dust

now how does anything get inside your top?
mine is coming up to 3 years old and looks like new on the inside (o.k., also the outside!)

HAHA...well, cmon east and check out the pollen capital of the world!!! ... as my top has been down most of the last few weeks, and I did not have enough foresight to put the boot cover on, a $hitload of green stuff settles everywhere. My whole Enterior has a green film, most of which i know how to clean from past experience. But not the top itself. I know i can wash the exterior, but i will use flynavy's suggestion and hope i can get back to black

beaton - do you use the fabric guard on it also?

i ask because I am placing my first stock order of 303 protectant products, and trying to get the right mix.

Actually, I use the 303 Aerospace Protectant on the inside. Also, I use 303 top cleaner for the outside to get the dirt and grime off and then I finish it off with 303 Aerospace Protectant.

I would also recommend it for the interior plastics.

Dyson Vacuum works wonders! 303 on the outside.
