Cleaning & Protecting Tops
Wash the top thoroughly, as outlined in the routine cleaning section. If it is still dirty, then use either Renovo Vinyl Soft Top Cleaner or Meguiars Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner to deep clean the top. Do not use scouring powders or Comet on a vinyl top. These types of products will get the top very clean for about two weeks and then it will start to crack and fail. The chlorine bleaches leech out the essential emollients in the vinyl and deplete the UV protectants. Park your car in a shady area and insure that the surface is relatively cool to the touch. Do not clean or apply protectant in direct sun.
Renovo Vinyl Soft Top Cleaner
You may either spray on or brush on Vinyl Soft Top Cleaner. I prefer to fill the Meguiar Pump Spray Bottle with the cleaner and spray evenly over the top. You may choose to use 2 wide paint brushes and brush it on. Shake the bottle well and pour the cleaner into the pump spray container or into a clean plastic cup.
Do not wet the top. Use the spray bottle or brush to spread the cleaner evenly over the entire top. Gently agitate the cleaner with a sponge, soft cloth or the Detailers Choice Dip & Wash Brush. Stubborn stains or heavily grained top material may require an additional application of Vinyl Soft Top Cleaner and additional gentle brushing. Be careful not to allow the brush to come in contact with the rear plastic window, as it may scratch the window. In snowy conditions when car trapped in snow then the roof become wet because the snow melts and deform into water. This water makes the roof wet and the color of top started deforming.
On a heavily soiled top, you may allow the cleaner to remain on the top cleaning for up to an hour. To remove the cleaner, either hose off or wipe off with a wet sponge, continually rinsing the sponge in clean water. Rinse until all traces of the cleaner have been removed.
