I use Bleach White by Westley's for my white top. Just don't let it sit on your paint too long if the top is on the car when you clean it. Use lots of water and lather it up with a sponge. Good luck.

I just bought and tried a new product called RAGG TOPP cleaner. It's distributed by Hirsch Automotive products at www.hirschauto.com. It worked great! Easy on and off and very effective. It's recommended by Haartz, the leading manufacturer of cloth and vinyl tops. Regards, Marv

I had several white top convertables during the 60's and what I used was Comet, water and a stiff brush. It seemed if I did this in the sunlight I had better results. As previosly stated, keep the painted area wet and flush well. I have also used Westley's but found Comet worked just as good but cheaper.

It works real good on white tops.
