How to Protect a Convertible
Method 1 of 3:
Cleaning Convertible Tops
-
Wash your convertible regularly. It is recommended that you clean your convertible top at least once every 4 weeks to keep dirt from sinking into the fabric or vinyl. -
Wet the top of the convertible with a hose. Use a gentle car shampoo or one made specifically for convertible tops, which can be found in any automotive or home improvement store. Apply the cleaner with a sponge as you would to the rest of your vehicle. -
Allow the cleaner to sit for 15 minutes for stubborn dirt or stains. -
Scrub the top gently with a bristled brush -
Rinse thoroughly with water..
Method 2 of 3:
Protecting Cloth Tops
-
Begin with a top that is dry and free of dirt and debris. -
Apply a fabric convertible-top protectant. Spray the product directly onto the vehicle from a distance of approximately 16-18 inches. -
Allow the top to dry completely. -
Dry thoroughly with a clean, microfiber towel.
Method 3 of 3:
Protecting Vinyl Tops
-
Ensure your vinyl top is clean and dry. -
Using sweeping motions, spray a vinyl convertible-top protectant at a distance of 8-12 inches from the top, or spray the product onto a clean, microfiber cloth and wipe the convertible top. -
Wipe the top thoroughly with a fresh cloth until it's completely dry. -
Repeat this process up to three times if dirt or stains remain.
