Convertiible top cleaning

[BigNic]

Convertible top cleaning question. I have a 98 convertible with the tan top. It has black marks (stains) on it. What is a reasonable way to clean the top. Normal washing doesn't touch the stains. I'm afraid to get too agressive. Is there a cleaning agent that does the job? Appreciate any and all help..

HI there,
Available from the www.corvettemuseum.com, is the RAGGTOPP convertible top cleaner.
This is made specifically by the makers of the tops, and will assist in the cleaning, and care of your top.
Yes, it will remove mostly all stains on the tops, and will NOT harm it.
Please follow the directions carefully.
Please let us know how it turns out, c4c5

Woolite works good too. Wet the top and apply with a soft bristle brush. Worked for me.:cool

Both a friend of mine and I have 2002 EB Convertibles with Light Oak tops. We have used Woolite with great success, price is right and locally available.

I use the Raggtop. I also bought a soft brush for interior leather from Griot's Garage for the top. You can't get too aggressive with the top as it will break the strands on the canvas.
