Leather conditioner is a good idea for the seats. Some members here have suggested Autoglym but I haven't had a chance to use it. I have used their tire dressing which works great. It can be picked up at Canadian tire. As far as the top is yours vinyl or cloth?

^^^^^ thanks Ronnie06Gt. I've been looking for RAGGTOPP but can't find it.
As for taking care of the top, I usually use a good vacuum with a strong suction on it regularly. Use a tool with a brush head ( hard floors), not the one that's for carpeting. Make sure the brush head is clean. I use a shopvac with the long tubes attached to make it easier to reach. I open the top halfway and get in all the creases at the back and sides ( drip rails? ). Use the small attachment ( mines round) with hair on it. I've also used those lint pickup rollers on it if I'm in a hurry ( for fluff, white lint, etc.). Give it a good light spray with the hose afterwards to get it wet and let it stand for a few minutes ( soak in). But be very, careful NOT to use too much force. I go over it this way a few times making sure it's rinsed well. Then I wash the rest of the car. Not sure about yours, but mine doesn't get driven in the rain. Hope this helps.
