I have a 2005 with the Tan convertible top. The top gets marks on it from the mechanism that makes the top go up and down. Anyway to get those marks off?

I have the cashmere top and am always geting those marks too.
What I found that works great is stuff called "303". You can find it in any boating supply store. I use the the "303 fabric gard" with a soft brush to clean the top, rinse, let dry thoruoghly then spray on the "303 Aerospace Protectant". The top always looks better than new.

Where do you find this 303? My car has beige/cashmere and it does the same thing. Only had it bout five months but noticed marks during first week.

www.303products.com will show you their product line-up
www.wheretobuy303.com will let you search for retailers  (usually sold are marine supply or places that cater to outdoor / water sports)
 
You can get FREE 2 ounce samples of each of the 303 Products (just pay $6 to cover S&H).  This can only be ordered through mail:  303 Products Free Sample Kit, PO BOX 966, Palo Cedro, CA 96073.  This offer is listed under 303products.com.
 
You might also consider Turtle Wax Ice's, TOTAL INTERIOR CARE (gel), which is great for removing stains from carpet, scuffs from just about anything, etc.
 
Have you tried Mr. Clean's Miracle Easer?  It works best on non-pourous surfaces, and MUST BE WET (like a sponge).

I buy 303 brand products from West Marine.  If you don't have a local store, order through their web page at www.westmarine.com.

Are you using the Fabric Guard to clean the top? I just purchased it and the protectant and the directions suggested I use one of the 303 cleaners to remove the stains before using the fabric guard.

I heard of a product called Ragg Topp that's supposed to work well also but have never tried it myself.  I have the manual top on my C6 and have not had any problems yet.
