First timer soft top maintenance.

I've posted this in the R59 section but though it would be good to ask here as well...


This is our first convertible so I feel very very newb at this...
I've look around NAM and haven't found a lot of information pertaining to care of a soft top. We have had the car for 2 weeks and I'm ready to give it its first bath ( I wanted to make sure the paint was fully set before I clean it and wax it to give it an extra protection).

one thread I found:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...rotectant.html


So what's the best way and procedures to:
- Wash the soft top and remove dust and contaminants that could be stuck in the fibers
- To dry it (dos and donts) so it doesn't leave marks.
- To protect it (when, how often)

What else should I be doing to keep it new for a very very long time?
What tools should I have in my possession (links are appreciated )?

Thanks for any help you guys can provide
Greg
