Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Convertible Top
Cleaning your convertible top is an important part of maintaining your vehicle's appearance and the health of the fabric. Follow these steps for best results with Chemical Guys Convertible Top Cleaner.
Preparation
Before you begin, ensure the convertible top is not hot to the touch. Ideally, clean in a shaded area.
- Rinse the Top: Use a hose to thoroughly wet the entire convertible top. This helps to loosen some surface dirt and prepares the fabric for cleaning.
Application & Cleaning
Now apply the cleaner directly to the wet fabric surface.
- Apply Cleaner: Spray the Chemical Guys Convertible Top Cleaner directly onto the wet fabric top. Work in sections if necessary, especially on larger tops.
- Agitate the Surface: Use a soft bristled brush designed for fabric or convertible tops, or a microfiber towel, to gently scrub the cleaner into the fabric. Work the brush or towel in a circular or back-and-forth motion to create a light foam and lift dirt from the fibers.
Rinsing Away
This is where the properties of the Chemical Guys cleaner become particularly beneficial.
- Wash Away Dirt and Excess Cleaner: Rinse the top thoroughly with a hose. As referenced in product information, the cleaner is water-based and does not contain harsh chemicals, making it easy to wash away all of the dirt and excess cleaner. It's designed to easily wipe away with no residue left behind. Ensure all suds and lifted dirt are completely rinsed off the top and surrounding panels.
Drying
Proper drying helps prevent water spots and ensures the top is ready for any potential protectants.
- Dry the Top: Allow the convertible top to air dry completely, or use a clean, dry microfiber towel to carefully blot the surface dry.
Using Chemical Guys Convertible Top Cleaner as part of your regular car care routine helps keep the fabric looking clean and extends its lifespan.
