Yes, cleaning is definitely smart. I didn't show that explicitly in the video because it is very straightforward.

I rinse mine with only water when washing the car, and I never take the car through automatic car washes.

When it's time to waterproof it, I use the 303 cleaner and horsehair brush. It's the only time soap touches the roof.

A lint roller is a great idea. My car has lots of lint on the top, which I attribute to using a fabric car cover rather often. I don't have a lint roller but I have used packing tape before to clean the lint off. The lint comes back so quickly with the car cover, I gave up trying to keep it off.

By the way, I don't remember if I left this in the video or edited it out, but ...

If anyone is wondering, "should I use 303 Fabric Protectant or should I use Raggtopp" , the answer is ...

Yes.

They are both awesome and you'll hear nothing bad about either one. I just happen to use 303, but Raggtopp is just as good. Chemical Guys brand has an excellent reputation but I haven't researched their top protectant yet. I would assume it is as good as the rest of their products.

Oh, and DON'T buy the 303 Vinyl Protectant. They look similar, but our tops are fabric, not vinyl.
