Ok Guys, what do you do to keepo the top clean? I mean to help prevent fading.
I wash the car frequently but my top is fading. Also, my interior is fading in spots.
Any ideas?

No It has a garage to live in and basically I do not 'clean' it now.

Can you post some pictures of the discoloration? That would help.
If you are washing the car frequently, could the spots on the top be from the kind of car wash soap you're using?
Where is the interior getting discolored? Is it in the wear spots on the bolsters?
We put our car away clean after a long drive and the white top hasn't stained yet.
When we cleaned up all of our cars this past weekend to put them away for the winter, there was some mildew on the top of the SST. I used some TSP on it and the mildew disappeared. I only did this because the SST is in primer. I would be hesitant to do this on a painted car for fear of ruining the finish.
You might try contacting the manufacturer of our tops for tips at Haartz.com
