Default Best all around cleaner for soft top/windows?

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a safe easy cleaner for the factory soft top and/ or windows? I thought I read somewhere that there is one cleaner that is good for both, as well as for lubricating the zippers, but I have not been able to relocate that thread.

Also, are there any cab covers for the unlimited that are completely waterproof? I'm thinking it would be nice to leave the top down for a few days at a time and just throw a cover over the top.

Thanks!

I tried water, soap, wash cloth but I stained the crap out of the soft top on my TJ with some mud, and couldn't get it out. The best answer is to stay out of mud, but thats almost impossible in the fall for some of the places that I go (hunting, fishing). Any suggestions?

You should be able to get these any of Jeep sites that sponsor project JK.

this is the best products I have found to clean tops, other than soap and water, that usually doesnt get the dirt out of the top..

I thaught it was "snake oil" but I couldnt get dirt off the top, I tried this stuff. and it worked good.. Get a soft brush for the sailcloth, it'll help get into the stitch pattern
