Default Washing the soft top?

Hey Guys,

Ive searched the site on how to best and what to best use to clean my soft top but Im not having much luck! Raggtop seems to be a popular choice, but my roof seems to be fabric and not vinyl??? Its definately not vinyl like my old MX5/Miata used to be :S

Can I clean this roof? Its almost like denim material by the looks of it. Its filthy tho and you can see the dirt in the fabric. I think a good clean would make it new again. But what shall I use?!?!?

Its vinyl, so dont use a fabric treatment; you'll have one hell of a mess!

Raggtop is top notch; just clean the texture with a brush to get all the build up off; Poorboys Natural is also good.

Used to have an MX5 too, deff dont use the shiny autoglym stuff I used on that....bit of rain and its all over your paint!
