Default cleaning the top

After a good mud hole i am having trouble getting the soft top no to have left overs on it. Has anyone found something that will clean that soft top or do i just have to deal with it?

i'd like to know this as well... i've found that a power washer will help, but i'm afraid of doing it constantly and ripping the top apart.

ya i tried that and i looked good at first but then when it dried the discoloring came back. Also i can't see how the soft top would hold up to that to many times.

I am also curious to see what the others have to say.

My first guess would be soapy water, a soft brush, and patience.

Good place to start, also use a Magic Eraser, they are great.

After you clean it keep 303 on it, will help keep the sun from fadeing it. Fenders. Interior anything plastic or rubber will benifit from it
