Any expert cleaners about soft top?
I went to my dealer to get a scratch removed on my trunk but the idiot buffed the car without covering the top so this "white" paint like material got on my soft top he said it will come off with soap and water which it didnt, so i tried to scrub it off which left some stain marks on the car which will not go away. Also there is a fine scratch on the hood that I cannot get rid of, anyone help me please!

My top got spotted from rain going through the cover. I used Ragg Topp and it looks like new. It's worth a try if all else fails.

Several on line places carry it. I can't seem to locate my info, but just google it and you'll find them.

Or get 303 top cleaner (don't forget the top is vinyl and which dealer was this? I want to avoid them)

I go to Landmark Honda. I make sure I know the service writers and the certified S2000 mechanic (Christmas presents for both, compliments on their work to management). Only time I had a problem is when they put the wrong oil in my car due to a new person doing oil changes. Landmark immediately changed the oil and filter and gave me my next change and filter free.

You might try contacting the regional Honda rep. Check with American Honda for the name and phone number, if you can't get it from the dealer.

Here is a link to top cleaners. Different top materials require different cleaning products and this chart has them listed. They also sell the ones listed.

so they stained your top and sent you off with a good luck hope it comes out? Is there nothing you can do to get them to pay for it?

to make a long story short, they actually did work my car twice( the scratches and dings) and they said they got everything out but they didnt so now they are ignoring my calls and saying stuff like "WE HAVE LIFES PLEASE STOP BOTHERING US WITH YOUR CAR, WE ARE DONE SERVICING YOU" that wasnt the only crap they said to me, they said even more crap to really piss me off... i was so fcuking pissed cause i just spent 300 dollars to detail my car to get everything out, inculding stains scratches dings SWIRLS... on a different day of RESCHEDULING.... a honda rep DID look at my car with the GM service manager and the rep said that it was the dealers fault for the swirls NOT a factory defect. WHICH WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT A FACTORY DEFECT but the dealership insisted that it was a fcuking factory detect... they even suggested that all NEW OR USED black cars have swirl marks LOL, my whole family has black cars and the NEW ones dont have swirls (all of us have hondas.. madre has Acura RDX, Dad has acura RL, Bro has Civic Si *ALL BLACK!) thanks for everyones suggestions though, looks like ragg topp will do well form what i can see. i even wanted to trade the car back or something cause i was so mad
