Default Soft Top Care

If this topic exists somewhere else please let me know, but i am wondering if there is an effective method to clean the jeep soft top and restore it in a sense...

Try Aerospace 303 cleaner and protectant and keep using it on a regular basis.

I've used few different cleaner and so far i have to say that i found the "bestop cleaner" worked really nice.. Just rinse the top with water, spray on the cleaner and use a soft bristle brush to work in the cleaner.. Rinse away the dirt and cleaner, leaving you with a restored top.. I maybe have to clean the top a couple of time over the summer. Best part of the cleaner is the minty smell..lol also the fact that after using it a few times it seems that cleaning the top gets easier. Oh and before i store my top for the winter i wipe it with the cleaner and that makes it good to go until next spring.
Good Luck

For the top, I just spray it off with unless just unbearable dirty... Once a month I use soap and water and clean it really good and apply the 303 protectant. Also I change my softtop out in the winter.

Awesome thanks everyone! I'll try that besttop cleaner and some others...... Also keeping it out of the sun isn't much of a choice I live in an apartment and don't have a garage. :(
