Try doing a search and...

Just kidding. I hate when people do that too.

Anyway, I learned from this forum when I got my Vert that a lot of people like using RaggTop. I think you can only buy it online but I could be wrong. Anyway, I bought mine online for less than $20 and it comes with a cleaning solution and another solution to protect and waterproof the top. Been using it for a year and it works great. I would recommend it. I'm sure others have used other stuff with success so we'll see who else chimes in. Or you could always check the car care section.

I use Raggtop. Also, I always try to put the top up when I'm back from a ride. I don't latch it, but I do put it up. It keeps the fabric in good shape and the dust out of the interior.

I think if you keep it clean, treat it with something like Raggtop and make sure its not always tucked away, you'll be fine.
