Thanks guys, I love the Recaros too! When I bought it they were a bit grubby but a wet vac soon sorted that!

What do you fella's use on the roof (mohair) to clean it and protect it?

First thing, NEVER EVER use Armoall on vinal tops. it eats the thread and shrinks the vinal. I speak from expierence on this.

The upolstry shops around here simply say use hot soapy water, a good brush and a good strong arm to clean your top.

Thanks! So what do you use to protect it afterwards and re-waterproof it?
