If it's anything like the girlfriend's 02 YJ, it'll be a pain.

Maybe check with a local detailer, they usually have some pretty good stuff.

Pudge,

Dishsoap is also a harsh cleaner for a car and material. It may be part of your problem. Consider switching to a cleaner ment for washing your vehicle/top. :p

Find a detail shop that has a steam cleaner. Make sure they are a competant one and that they've don this before. Those steam cleaners get very, very hot! They can clean the whole top and re-apply Scotchguard like the factory did! My dad does this for a living so I know the process!

I own a jeep cherokee and bought one of these scrub brushes with a long handle from costco and it works really well.

When i had my 87 wrangler ann. edition i had several tops for it. I tried everything under the sun, nothing worked except the steam cleaning process.

when i bought my 90 5.0 gt conv. Mustang (blk/blk) i went to the same shop and they fuckin ruined my top. Of course they replaced it free of charge with a few extra goodies.

why it worked on one and not the other i have know idea.....leankid????

Not sure Nate, Jeeps, and Mustangs alike have canvas tops on them.

How did they mess it up bruva??

i had a 94 wrangler .......i think JC whitny(sp) sells products to clean......if not go with the steam.

clean it with laundry detergent, first.
Then use the special soap, and let it on for a short time then use a high powered hose to clean it.
