If you are a preservationist, use a magic eraser with caution.

If it's an original top and has any sheen or gloss left, be prepared for that gloss to be reduced.

Magic erasers are essentially sandpaper, that's why they work so good.

If the top has been replaced and you just want the top to look clean, get at it. Those marks will come out.

Frank, going to have to check at the shop as I have 15 gallons of "purple" cleaner-degreaser already.

I think I will try a few different things to see what gives the best results without damaging the top or stitching. The top still looks good and is usually down for extended periods of time. But the car is nice for what it is, so just trying to extend the life of a white top as my 5.0 Mustang had the white top and after a couple years it looked the same as this 15 yr old top does now.

Thanks guys

John
