Should I just use a lint roller? I was washing the top on my car with convertible top cleaner and the rag/cotton side of a sponge and all the lint caught on to the top. I forgot to use the sponge side...so I have a crap load of white lint on my black cloth top. Lint roller should do the trick and is safe for it right? Thanks guys.

In a pinch, a loop of masking tape will work, too.

Do you own a '96-'02 Camaro SS?

A vacuum cleaner with soft brisle brush works ok to.
