Can a soft top go through the car wash?

My vinyl windows are dark tinted, and they don't look like they'll turn yellow. Well, mine is a year old, and the windows are all scratched up anyway. No matter how you take good care of the windows, they'll scratched up. If they start looking bad, I'd just buy the replacement.
If any case, I think it's more likely the UV causes yellowing the windows than soaps. If you are concerned, after touchless wash, you can clan the plastic windows with Mopar or Bestop/RaggTopp vinyl window cleaner and finish with 303 Aerospace Protectant.

Not To Be ''piling On'' But....
My last Wrangler had three different tops over a 13 year period, used all different types of soaps including ''palmolive dishwashing liquid''- NO affect on any of the windows, clear or deep tinted.....

Hardtop and touchless in winter (about 6-8 mos/year up here) and DIY pressure wand the rest of the time.
Sooner or later the whole top will be perma-khaki (dirt brown) and I won't be so worried.
