That is the key, vacuuming, the top before washing it, to remove all of the dirt before water/soap hits the canvas material. If washing takes place first, it will grind the dirt into the canvas material.
I used the 303 protectant on my dark blue canvas top on my 2002 Sebring Limited for 5 years before I sold it and the new owner was shocked it was the original.
I also used a hair dryer/blower (hot setting) at about 6-8 inches away from the material to take out the wrinkles, during cloudy days.
Just my 2 cents....
