Tired of having a convertible top that looks filthy? \u00a0While there are many convertible top cleaners on the market and most will work just fine, I personally prefer 303’s products. \u00a0They have a reputation for great products, 303 Automotive Tonneau Cover and Convertible Top Cleaner<\/a> is just another of their products to add to that list. \u00a0An\u00a0extremely easy\u00a0product to use while producing outstanding results.<\/p>\n

Here is the product description as posted on Detailed Image.<\/p>\n

Product Description<\/h3>\n

The 303 Automotive Tonneau Cover & Convertible Top Cleaner is a specially formulated cleaner, that will help you bring your convertible top back to life! This cleaner will get deep into the pores of your convertible top and bring soil and other contamination to the surface for removal. Apply evenly with a light spray over a wet surface and agitate with a damp towel or brush as needed. If you have heavier contamination to remove, rinse the surface and repeat the application until it is removed. It is safe to use on any fabric tops, vinyl, plastic, rubber, carpets and much more. This product will only clean, so we highly recommend applying a protectant to the surface once you are finished. If you have a dirty convertible top, pick up the 303 Automotive Tonneau Cover & Convertible Top Cleaner and bring your top back to that like new condition quickly and easily!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For my example I am using a 2001 Porsche Boxster with a black soft top. \u00a0The top is in really good condition, however is in need of a very thorough cleaning.<\/p>\n

\"KMG<\/p>\n

The Boxster had been parked most of the winter in the owner’s garage and was quite dusty. \u00a0You can see in this picture that it looked slightly discolored and had some dirt and lint on it.<\/p>\n

\"KMG<\/p>\n

The first step in cleaning the top\u00a0is to thoroughly rinse the top and\u00a0remove any heavier dirt or debris that might be present on the surface of the top.<\/p>\n

\"KMG<\/p>\n

Once thoroughly rinsed and wet you will\u00a0apply a generous even amount of 303 Automotive Tonneau Cover and Convertible Top Cleaner\u00a0over the entire top while it is still wet.<\/p>\n

\"KMG<\/p>\n

With the product applied you will want to take a soft brush and scrub the entire top. \u00a0I like using one of Detailed Image’s Horse Hair Upholstery Brushes<\/a> as they have fairly soft bristles and is very unlikely to cause any damage to the top.<\/p>\n

\"KMG<\/p>\n

At this point the entire top was thoroughly scrubbed and ready to be rinsed off.<\/p>\n

\"KMG<\/p>\n

Being that the top on this car was not nearly as dirty as most, it was fully cleaned after one application. \u00a0If you are dealing with a top that has heavy soiling on it, you may need to apply a generous amount of product on the top and leave it sit for 15-20 minutes to fully break down the stains and dirt. \u00a0You will want to let it sit before brushing and in some cases may need to do more than one application to fully clean the surface.<\/p>\n

\"KMG<\/p>\n

Once the top has been\u00a0cleaned and dried you should be left with a nice clean surface as pictured. \u00a0At this point your top is prepared to apply a protectant such as 303 Aerospace Protectant<\/a> or 303 Fabric Guard<\/a> depending on the material that your top is made of. \u00a0You want to keep your top protected as it will prolong the life span of the top.<\/p>\n
