Exclamation Glad to be in the family!

Hi,

I'm so happy to be apart of the family. I just bought a 2006 Bug convertible in Harvest moon with cream top and interior! I love it!!!

I'm realizing that this baby is high maintence. Does anyone know how to keep the top clean? I already see a little stain. Is there anyway to get it out without damaging the top?

Congratulations!!


Yes, our NBs, and espescially our NBCs, are high maintenance. I have heard about RaggTopp cleaner, just for 'verts. (We need to get it too, but haven't gotten it yet.) Vert owners that have used it, love it.

Oh, and Welcome to the Org!

As far as I can tell that isn't our Cindy. Which is odd that the first initial and last name would match.

So - cpollard, do you know about the local Dallas Club?

Perhaps your owners manual has some suggestions. I have cleaned my GLS according to the instructions in my owners manual and it continues to appear flawless.
