Need some opinions
Im a new owner of a C6 convertible white with beige interior and beige top. im not a huge fan of the beige top and its currently filthy and no matter what i do it dose not get clean.
I had a thought of changing the top black but i don't know if it will clash with the interior i need some advice.

I don't think that a black top will look good with the beige interior. Surly some detail shop in your area can clean the top or post in car care and ask what you should use.

At the moment, I can't recall the name of the top mfr.,* but use top cleaning fluids and brushes very carefully working up in strength, but only to a point. The advice above is a good one, and I'd actually go first to a top replacement shop and ask them what can be done (what products to use) and, if not by you, who they'd recommend to do the cleaning. I'd bet they know a few in your area.
As to your white with tan and black, I don't see why it wouldn't go well together. It's not that odd a combo; lots of people have tan interiors on various body colors with a black top. Just note that a top can run about 1,500-2,000 from what I've read.
* could be wrong, but it could be Haartz. If it is, I'd write and ask them maybe even sending a pic along with your questions.

Or you could change out the interior to match the new black top. j/k.
I've never owned a convertible but there has to be some cleaning product out there that can get it clean cheaper than replacing the top. Or like jrose suggested, take it to a detail shop. Again there has to be cheaper methods than just replacing the top.

Ragg Top has the best cleaners/protectant. But they only do so much.
Go with the black top.

I'm sure it wouldn't look bad. The interior has black in it so it should bring it together nicely.
I ordered my '06 with the beige top, and beige interior. Looked good for the first little while, but it didn't take long until I wished I had ordered the black top.

I did the same on my 06 vert. Same results. Traded it in within a year and the top looked dirty even though it was not. Creases show up like dirty wrinkles.
