dunno about best but the Auto-Glym hood cleaner and sealant twin-pack is very good - 20 GBP even at Halfrauds

use the cleaner to... clean
then you use the sealer to... seal

lasts a long time

Yeah, autoglym stuff definitely works. Have a two year old hood that looks like it was fitted yesterday. Make sure to clean it well first.

Guys ... what's best for removing the greenish mould looking stuff?
I want to get rid of it before the hard top comes out later this month.
My old man also has a problem with it on his Boxster.

auto-glym hood cleaner as above - just don't use too much as it froths and froths for ever

use an old (worn and so softer) toothbrush to get into the seams - be gentle - then rinse and rinse and rinse those suds away...

can you get A-G in Copenhagen?

I think I've seen Autoglym in one place ... can't remember where though!
I will have a look around .. sounds like it's a good kit for the roof.
