Default How to clean a roadster top

This past week I made the mistake of parking in one of our beautiful Oregon State Parks (think hundreds of Douglas Fir trees) and was victimized by a few pesky crows! Any tips/suggestions on how I may approach cleaning the mess off the top? Thanks!

Thanks - I tried all kinds of cleaners with a brush and I was left with some nasty stains. Oh well, my A buddy laughingly commented, "@%#@ happens!" A real cartoon he is!

Ask a professional carpet cleaning service what they would recommend.

Like 29 spcoupe said mild dish soap and water and a stiff brush. Not cleaners!! You might be surprised.

Macs sells a product called Ragtop Cleaner! It works great for me. My. Friend took his to a carpet cleaner and they used the furniture attachment. $80 but just like new. Wayne
