Convertible Top cleaning?

Convertible Top cleaning?
I need to wash for the first time my 2006 Vert. What's the best way and solution to clean the top?
I have a black Vert top and there are some white spots on it, is that normal?

And I got a beige top that has black streaks on it. Got a top cleaner that helped somewhat. If top is dry they are harder to spot, but if wet they simply stare at me and p*ss me off. At least the top won't fly off---hopefully that is.

I have an 06 vert(blk top) and I just use car wash liquid, as for the white stuff, it looks like wax or something they left when getting the car ready for you. A little soap and water worked for me.

I like to use a shop vac to extract as much dirt, etc. from the top before washing. It would probably be good to check out something like Ragg Topp cleaner and protectant.

I usually vacuum my top, then use a lint roller( the type with sticky tape)
I only wash it when absolutely necessary and when I do I use only Raggtopp cleaner or Aerospace 303 cleaner.
Once it is dry ( 48 hours) then I use either Raggtopp protectant or Aerospace 303 protectant.
You want to wait until the top is DRY otherwise you can get mold and mildew growing in the top fabric underneath the protectant.
Raggtopp can be ordered on line from CF vendor http://www.propercarcare.com/
Aerospace 303 products can be found on line or at major Autoparts stores.
