'Vert top cleaner?
Quick question,
On my top I have some bleamishes in the material. I've tried to get them off and I can't. Some are due to the bends where the top folds down and others just appear to be stains. What kind of cleaner should I use to take care of this or is there any type of spray that will restore the color? It is sort of a beige color on the magnetic red.

I think you're talking about the pressure marks on the fabric. You're correct, it's caused by contact between the fabric and the frame.
My top is black and I use Rag Topp. Its great stuff and the top cleans up nicely. It'll fix any stains. Have to say though the pressure marks return quite quickly once the protectorant wears off.

I have a 02 Torch Red vert with the Light Oak top. RaggTop has worked extremely well. I clean and seal the top once a year. Between major cleanings, I wash the top with Zaino car wash. Got the RaggTop from the National Corvette Museum (NCM).
