IMHO, the only time soap is really needed is when you have bird droppings or a similar substance on the soft top and washing it with water doesn't do the job.

Oddly enough, I have yet to have a bird shit on my top. *knock on wood* Windows.. yes. Not even the hood! which is really weird.

I do wet the top with water because i have two cats and a dog.... the hair gets EVERYWHERE!! even in my garage, I swear....

I hope through you didn't jinx yourself, rumor has it that the birds do read the posts in this forum.

That's interesting about the softop. I clean the top on my car (Fiat 124) each time I wash it using a Meguires wash, then a thorough rinse. Doesn't seem to hurt it, but then it's likely a different - cheaper? - material. It's also garaged most of the time.

I do, also, use a clothes lint roller to get any fluff off.

I saw a moonlight softop a day or so ago, and that is definitely a different material. Is the regular black top the same material/weave but a different color 'blend'?

I have the moonlight and I'm pretty sure it's a vinyl coated with some sort of water repellant. I soak it but try not to wash it, garage kept as well.
