How to use a convertible top cleaner
Make sure you read the instructions on the packaging of the product you choose before getting started. Also, make sure the vehicle has been washed and is parked in an area safe from the elements. Once you are ready to start, spray the cleaner onto the roof of your car and wipe it down or brush it. Then wipe off the cleaner with your towel. If you have a protectant apply that after removing the cleaner and give it time to dry before removing it.
Do you have to use a protectant after applying a convertible top cleaner?
You don’t need to add a protectant, but it would be wise to use one. It creates a shield that is hydrophobic and will prevent dirt, dust and other contaminants form building up so you can go longer intervals before needing to clean your roof top.
