Default Detailing T Tops

hey guys does any one how to clean the grunge off the black rubber of your t- tops? It kind of looks like spots everywhere! Hot soap and water does not do the trick! Any help would be appreciated!

Try wiping it with some Armor All wipes... Might work.

I think the armor all would just be temporary

I used white wal cleaner (not sure of the brand at the moment) but it worked great on my t-tops/tires.

You're probably thinking of Wesley's tire bleach, they make the Black Magic tire shine stuff.

Try 3m Adhesive Cleaner In The Spray Can. I Use It Every Day At The Dealership That I Work At And It Works Great.

Those are some good suggestions....personally I'd go with the Westley's Tire Cleaner, and then follow it up with the dielectric grease. The grease won't clean at all, but it helps it stay looking nice and keeps the rubber supple once it is clean. The owner's manual actually recommends treating the T-top rubber with this to avoid leaks down the road.
