Any recommendations on what product(s) to use to keep a white convertible top clean. Mine is being installed this week. When I asked the guy that runs the upholstery shop this question he kind of chuckled and said try not to let it get dirty in the first place. I was going to go with black, but I saw a 68 Camaro convertible with my torch red Corvette body color and white interior at Carlisle a few years back and that sold me on the white top. The contrast of the white top and the torch red really stood out. I had my interior custom made by PUI in their M37 white.

I use 303 protectant, but both of my convertibles have black tops. One of my cars is without a top at the moment.

At the advice of my buddy who is a car detailing fanatic, I scrubbed my white top with soft scrub. It's got bleach, detergents, and abrasives. It looked great afterwards but it just gets dirty again. I keep mine neatly folded under the boot and is hasn't gone up in 2 years.
