A regular garment lint roller has worked best for me (slow strokes picks up best), takes about 5 min and about 7 'layers' of the adhesive tape on the roller.

Same here... Lint roller, and when that is empty I grab some duct tape.

Just buy yourself a really good smooth artificial sponge ~ wet top first ~ then soap it up real good ~ rinse several times ~ then proceed with the rest of your car ~ let top dry in bright sun light. This removes any lent & phuckin cat hairs from my neighbors muthr-phuckin cat. Works for me,top looks brand new.

I used the clear scotch packaging tape and it takes every bit of lint off. Just glide it across the top and it will do the rest

I recommend not "dragging" tape such as Duct or Package across the top, especially if the top is hot. The glue, can "streak" off . . .

I use lint rollers, or "pat" the top with a ring or two around my hand.

I NEVER rub the op with a towel or sponge. I may use a soft brush.

I've yet to find a solution that beats a paper-layer lint roller. My wife got these rubber staticy reusable washable ones and they just suck for the car. There's a couple of white cats in our street that like to use the 'vert as a hammock, especially in winter. Guess it's just one of those things.
