Default Question on S197 Convertible Tops

Hey everyone, have a quick question. My mother has a 2006 GT Convertible. She needs to clean up the top since its dirty. What is the exact material that the top consists of? Could anyone recommend a cleaner? Thanks.

if you have a 2006 then you have a vinyl top cause cloth wasn't an option till 2007.

I use RagTop cleaner and conditioner in 2 separate bottles.

Simple green has been the most effective cleaner/degreaser i've used to remove that nasty pine sap i sometimes get on my car. It rubs right off in seconds after i let it sit on there.

I use a product made by 303. It is a 2 step cleaner and then fabric protection. They have two different kits one for vinyl, the other for cloth tops. I have a black cloth top and very happy with the product.

I use Raggtopp on my cloth top, but I have also heard good things about the 303 cleaner. Make sure you apply the protectant after you get it clean whichever brand you choose; even vinyl tops need protection!
