Do you mean the fibreglass roof? I used an own brand supermarket abrasive cleaner on my pop-top (equivalent to Cif) and it worked a treat.
A bit messy though :ok

This photo taken after a good clean. It was almost black in places!!

Good stuff, it will look nice if kept clean.

But I meant the fabric walls really. They look a bit grubby.
