I have been using "Greased Lightning" It works very well and doesn't leave a film on the covering.

I've been using McGuires quick detail foam spray and a micro fiber cloth. Watch out using paper towels, they scratch the covering and canopy.

This crazy guy is going to be at thistledown?

And he drinks too?

Oh hell, I am going to come away from this a tainted man.

Oh yeah, I just use 409 or fantastik. Smells (tastes, too, sleepy) better than Snap's special blend, I'm sure.
