Default Convertible top care question

Many on this and the Rennlist board have recommended the OXO Fingertip Wash brush for roadster top cleaning, but after calling around, everyone's out of stock. I included a link with the brush (it's out of stock there, too). I called OXO and it's apparently discontinued. What other brushes are you using to clean the roadster fabric top without damaging it? Appreciate any input here.<ul><li><a href="http://www.bikedepot.net/fewabr.html">OXO Brush</a></li></ul>

I will do that - they may have some old stock on it.

Default Believe it or not I use a Kiwi shoe brush...

I've had the OXO brush, it's nice, but I enjoy the natural product as opposed to the poly bristles.

Default Like a boars hair brush? There are a number of those out there.

moderately stiff brush? I have one that I use on my car's carpet with good results - probably ok to use on a convertible top as well, no?

Default I'll call them ...

when I checked with another supplier that claimed to have this, it was out of stock when I called them.
