Owning a convertible is all about experiencing the open road and the wind in your hair. However, to truly enjoy your open-top driving, it's essential to maintain your soft top and keep it in impeccable condition. Autoglym's Convertible Soft Top Clean & Protect Complete Kit provides you with everything you need to clean and protect your soft top, whether it's made of mohair, double duck, fabric, or canvas fabric.

What's Inside:

  • Autoglym Soft Top Cleaner – 500ml: This powerful cleaner is designed to effectively remove stains, dirt, and green algae from your convertible's soft top. It helps restore its vibrant colour and ensures it looks its best.
  • Soft Top Protector – 500ml: Once your soft top is clean, the Soft Top Protector comes into play. This protector helps shield your convertible's top from environmental elements, ensuring its longevity and preserving its appeal.
  • 1 x Cleaning Sponge: The kit includes a cleaning sponge to help you apply the products evenly and effectively.
  • 1 x Soft Top Protector Applicator Sponge: Applying the protector is a breeze with the included applicator sponge, ensuring even coverage and protection. 

How to use Convertible Soft Top Cleaner:

  1. Begin by working out of direct sunlight, brushing and vacuuming the soft top to remove loose dirt.
  2. Dampen the roof with water.
  3. Shake the Soft Top Cleaner well, and mix 250ml of the solution with 500ml of water in a suitable container.
  4. Test a small, inconspicuous area for colourfastness.
  5. Saturate the provided white cleaning sponge in the diluted product, starting with any stains or green algae.
  6. Continue to spread the cleaner onto the fabric hood, ensuring even coverage. If the hood is very dirty, you can cover it with plastic and allow the cleaner to work overnight. Wipe away product runs from glass and paintwork with a damp microfiber cloth.
  7. Rinse off the Soft Top Cleaner using a low-pressure hose, ensuring no cleaner remains on the hood. Do not use a pressure washer, as any remaining cleaner will affect the performance of the Soft Top Protector.

How to use Convertible Soft Top Protector:

  1. Clean the roof with the Soft Top Cleaner and leave it damp.
  2. Rinse the blue Soft Top Protector applicator under a tap, then squeeze it until it's damp.
  3. Working out of direct sunlight, pour the Soft Top Protector onto the applicator and apply it systematically to the hood to ensure even coverage, using approximately half of the bottle's contents.
  4. Remove any overspray from paintwork and glass immediately. It's recommended to use Autoglym Fast Glass to remove overspray from glass.
  5. Allow the protector to fully dry before driving. Store the product at room temperature and avoid freezing.

Enjoy your convertible to the fullest with the Autoglym Convertible Soft Kit, ensuring your soft top remains clean, protected, and looking its best. Enjoy your driving experience.

What is the Soft Top Clean & Protect Complete Kit? 

The Soft Top Clean & Protect Complete Kit is a two-step kit with everything you need to complete a full clean and to add protection to your fabric hood. Each kit contains 2 applications.

Should I apply Soft Top Protector to my convertible soft top when it is wet or dry? 

For best results, we would advise to apply the Soft Top Protector to your soft top when damp. Ensure you wipe away any over spray from glass or paintwork straight away and allow the soft top to dry. 

What types of soft top materials can I use this on? 

The Soft Top Clean & Protect Complete Kit is ideal for use on mohair, double duck, fabric or canvas fabric hoods. 

How often should I use the Soft Top Clean & Protect Complete Kit? 

Use the kit when a vacuum and plain water rise no longer cleans the hood sufficiently or when the hood no longer beads and repels water.

How long does the Soft Top Protector keep my soft top protected for? 

Durability is dependent on many factors, including weather, how well the proofer was applied, whether the vehicle is garaged etc. However, during testing we observed the hood will remain protected for more than three months.

Can I buy Soft Top Cleaner or Soft Top Protector individually? 

At present Soft Top Cleaner or Soft Top Protector are not available to purchase individually.

Soft Top Protector has dried on my paint work how can I remove this?

If your paintwork is clean and dry, use Fast Glass on a soft Microfibre Cloth on the affected area. Allow the Fast Glass to soften the residue before gently wiping away, do not rub.

I’ve used this according to instruction, but it has not removed all the stains? 

Soft Top Clean is effective at removing most types of soiling associated with soft tops, however aged or damaged soft tops can present an uneven finish which cannot be cleaned to improve.

For more stubborn soiling, allow plenty of dwell time. The cleaner can be left on overnight to provide a deeper intensive clean. We advise to cover the roof with plastic sheeting and secure (use a towel to weigh down or mask) this will prevent the product from drying out, use according to instruction and agitate (ensure a vigorous scrub to really work the product) with the sponge provided and spend a little longer on the problematic areas.

In the morning rehydrate with the cleaner and re-agitate and rinse thoroughly to ensure all residue is removed as this can also result in a patchy appearance if any residue from the cleaner is left on the surface. We would advise to rinse thoroughly using a low-pressure hose or watering can.

My roof is vinyl what can use instead? 

Wash with any Autoglym shampoo and protect with Bumper & Trim Gel. 

My roof is not repelling water after using the protector? 

The water beading effect is something that should be seen in light rain or morning dew however possible reasons that this would not occur would be if there is still surface contamination.

The effect also lessens and disappears in heavy rain as the water quantity becomes too great to be supported by the Protector.

However, once the hood has dried out the beading effect should return again with light rain.
