buy an OXO feathertip brush when you clean the top with Raggtopp and try the top with one of those $8 absorbers. THose things suck up water quick and leave behind no lint. Work well on the galss too. Just don't use it on paint where it goes squeak squeak (a no no).
Rinse off the top before applying Raggtopp. You don't want to apply the protectant if there is dust on the surface, it will trap it into the fabric and then your are worse off than not doing it all.
Renovo also makes a spot cleaning foam that just sits ontop and pushes out the debris without agitating too much.
and during the colder months warm up the car and blast the heat before lowering the top.

Perfectlap,

Any idea where I can get a OXO feathertip brush ?

Thanks,

It's a bad idea to wash the top unless it needs it....unless it sees lots of mud/dirt bird droppings, sap ect. I have had my car for 3 yrs and never washed the top with soap. Washing it with soap removes the protectant. I would just give it a light rinse when you wash the car if that. I do however apply raggtop protectent once a year. My car is a garaged car that doesn't see alot of crap so your situation may vary.
