Usually I use my washmitt and treat it as if it was paint unless it is really soiled then I use a soft brush. After drying, apply a protectant like 303 or raggtop (for vinyl) to help keep the soft top looking black.

raggtopp and 303 work good as a cleaner.

To top it, I used to go out and Porsche Tequipment soft top spray. After cleaning , a few sprays of this stuff really brings the black back and it will bead water when it rains. Great stuff.

I washed the car and top today. I used car wash and wash mitt. When the top was dry, I applied Raggtopp Protectant with a microfiber pad. I spray the protectant onto the pad and then rub in. On occasion I will use the Raggtopp cleaner to clean the top.

I have to say use Raggtopp cleaner and a nice soft bristle brush. Then coat it in the Raggtopp vinyl protectant.

When I got my S the top was on the gray side. After cleaning and sealing it, its now a beautiful dark black.

I use the Raggtopp cleaner and a brush. You can certainly use the same car wash mix that you use for the rest of the car if you want. "Best" is always very subjective no matter what you're talking about.
