I use mothers cleaner and conditioner. I recommend spraying the product on. Microfiber towel or sponge and use a second "dry" towel to wipe off access product.

I get a very even ans clean finish.

When I use use a single towel, I found the results "streaky"

Wolfsteins Tonneau Cover Care Kit is what you need to protect it and also look into the RaggTopp Kit for your top.

Thanks for the tip on Wolfsteins , right now it's very clean so I got away with just a little VRT and that stuff doesn't clean. But as a long time drop-top fan, I have also been a long time RaggTopp fan, too. It allowed me to keep my Darkside Solstice GXP top really "Darkside" for 8 years on a car that never saw the inside of a garage.

At least back in the day, that was a "boot" for American convertible cars, I know it is for my '70. Tonneau, on a car, was the cover a convertible used for the cockpit if the car was stored with the roof down. You'd see them on Brit cars a lot, I think basically because the roof was such a PITA to put up or down.
