Default How often do you wash the top?

I need your advice, how do you wash your top? Rinse with water only, use soap/water, use other products like cleaners and protectants or don't do anything? Also, how often do you wash the top? Thanks!

I rinse it off every time I wash the car (2-3 times a week) but only use a cleaner on it when it really needs it. Maybe once a month. I just startede using Raggtopp protectant so don't know how often I will apply it but I'[m sure an application will last at least a few months depending on weather.

See the previous thread about cleaning and protecting the top.

I use the Raggtopp cleaner and protectant as well and it still looks great two weeks after the application. I keep soap off of it when washing the car and use a filtered water rinse and microfiber towel over the entire thing once a week. Seems to keep it clean and dark.

I rinse my top with water only every time I wash the car (once a week) and wash the top with Mother's Ph balanced soap every 4-6 weeks.
For you guys that are using Raggtop protectant - are you using the Vinyl or cloth product? I purchased the cloth protectant, but according to the folks at Raggtop, we should be using the Vinyl product. I know there's lots of controversy on this topic.
