Default How to clean your soft top

I was stupid and used the Best top window cleaner for the soft top....how do I get the streaks out of it. What do I actually clean the soft top with?

I use 303. I have the bestop package with the top cleaner,window cleaner and top protectant. And it BLOWS! Although I do use the bestop cleaner then once dries I use 303 protectant.

I have had good success withe the Bestop soft top cleaner and protectant. With the cleaner, use a small brush to scrub the top. This got my top looking factory new.

Ok so I bought the Besttop kit and used the cleaner and a gentle brush to try and clean off the mud splatters and the areas that streaked when I used the besttop window cleaner on the top....NOTHING is working. How do I clean off the dried mud splatters and get the window cleaner off my soft top??

Try using a good APC (all purpose cleaner). Simple Green isn't too bad, Westley's Bleche White may also work. I would suggest using a diluted solution, and testing it in a "small, inconspicuous place" to make sure it doesn't fade or stain.

303 is a protectant, so it won't do much to help with the cleaning.

I use 303 on my soft top as well.

But after it rains, it drips all over the body. Ew. Make sure you do it where it can dry before it rains.

My son (7 years old) tried to shine my jeep and soft top windows with sunblock......

That does not work.

As for the ole windex, that seems to work so far.

Soap, water, scrub brush and windex to clean. 303 to protect. McGuires plastic cleaner and Protectant for plastic windows.
