Makes me wish I had a hard top. I scrubbed mine today with Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and then hit it with Blue Magic Convertible Top Cleaner and it looks somewhat better but not nearly as clean as I'd like.  Maybe I'll try some mild bleach water on it tomorrow.

Good luck! (in reply to lexy) Post #: 29

Well, I bought some Lysol Tub and Tile Clean w/ Bleach, and it worked like a champ. I'm sure Tilex will do the same. Although, don't lay the bottle down on your carpet or you will be in for heartache it it leaks. I should know. _____________________________ 05 Mineral Gray V6 Conv.
