Just got a 1999 Celica GT Conv.

Looking for best way to clean the black canvas convert top.

Also, looking for a good product to waterproof the canvas, as I understand it, the canvas is only water resistant unless treated with proofing.

The autoparts stores out here stink, all I could find was "Blue Magic" Convertible cleaner and protectant. Judging by the looks of the bottle, this is not the product I was looking for for waterproofing.

Any suggestions?

I think it's around the threads, I havn't actually seen it come in, but I'll get in my car after it's been raining and theres water pooled up inside the vert top where the top retracts when you put it down.
