Do any of you guys use the high pressure rinse on your tops?  What I use when I go there, I just use the low pressure "spot free" rinse (I'm not sure if all car wash stalls have that) , or I don't squeeze the trigger when I'm spraying the top.

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you''''''''re fast.

Yea I use the high pressure coin wash on the top, AND press the trigger lol, but I don't hold the tip of the wand too close to the top itself, and I don't blast into crevice areas like around the rear glass etc.,

I also lighty scrub the top with the brush too. It makes it look pretty good.

I don't spray the seams hard, but the canvas itself I give a good spray.

I hit mine pretty hard with spray. That's how I get the bird crap off.
