Oh god, anytime it's +8C the tops down! Getting more frequent last few days I've had it down about 5 times this month. I love the wind, I don't care if I have to wear a touque, a scarf, and a parka with the seat warmers on I'm gunna do it. I also drive my boat 'till the lakes freezes up lol.

I wish I'd never seen this thread!!

I got into All Ball this morning, looked up expecting to see a nice clean top (he only has 5000 miles), but sure enough there are some faint lines developing.

I think I'll start with a damp cloth and some diluted Simple Green, and see if that gets me anywhere. But first, time to thoroughly clean that roll bar!

Don't forget the micro-fiber cloth! Used one dry yesterday (on the lines) and it did a pretty good job, going to wait till I have a ~clean~ one to use water and a *drop* of Joy.

Microfiber is the way to go. Windows - a snap.

The old type 450 smart cabrio's headliner is removable and I've washed mine in the bathtub twice over the past 4 years. It comes perfectly clean. The fabric is more robust than it looks.

Perhaps that of the 451 is removable too?

What is a drop of 'Joy'? Is that a Mary Poppin's spoonful of sugar metaphor? Does that mean I use just water and hope it works? Or is there really a cleaning agent called "joy"? The miro fibre cloth should work great those things are awsome.
