Thanks for the advice guys. Perfectlap, I've read several sources that say don't wash/rinse the top unless it is visibly dirty. I make a point not to wash the top and also I avoid getting it wet when washing the car. Plus, washing the top would just remove the raggtopp protectant much more quickly I would imagine. Does anyone else follow this rule or do most of you wash or rinse the top when washing the car?

washing only when visibly dirty, true but Rinsing from what I read from Hartz is ideal, it also lets you see when the protectant is dimishing. Blot dry when rinsing is done.
Letting dust accumulate in between long periods of washing is not a good idea. I would agree that you should wash only when necessary.
