Can you clarify what you mean by a clear top so we can make sure we recommend the right product?

I have always used Zaino Z6 and Z8 on my C5 and C6 clear roofs. Always look new.

Plastic (Lexan) or Tinted glass

Use Plexus® Plastic Polish & Cleaner to polish and protect the tint. It will seal the tint material (Mylar) and keep it clean. Plexus is anti-static so it repels the dust and dirt normally attracted to plastic. Plexus also leaves an invisible, micro-thin layer of protectant, sealing the porous surface, making it more resistant to dirt, dust and other contaminants.

Regular use will help prevent crazing, yellowing and oxidation which diminishes the plastic's lustre, and appearance. Plexus is non-static, non-streaking, and it dries crystal clear.

Targa Top Panel

or

They will also protect your headlamps, taillamps, and other plexi/plastic items. Areas like radio and nav for instance.

I've typically protect the exterior with a quality sealant like the Blackfire Wet Diamond with Polycharger. On the inside you can clean and protect it with a product like TOGWT mentioned Plexus Plastic Polish, Cleaner & Protectant or the Chemical Guys Clear Seal. If you have any other questions please let me know.
