ahem...class it up!
two more:
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.
