Should I apply Soft Top Protector to my convertible soft top when it is wet or dry?
For best results, we would advise to apply the Soft Top Protector to your soft top when damp. Ensure you wipe away any over spray from glass or paintwork straight away and allow the soft top to dry.
What types of soft top materials can I use this on?
The Soft Top Clean & Protect Complete Kit is ideal for use on mohair, double duck, fabric or canvas fabric hoods.
How often should I use the Soft Top Clean & Protect Complete Kit?
Use the kit when a vacuum and plain water rise no longer cleans the hood sufficiently or when the hood no longer beads and repels water.
How long does the Soft Top Protector keep my soft top protected for?
Durability is dependent on many factors, including weather, how well the proofer was applied, whether the vehicle is garaged etc. However, during testing we observed the hood will remain protected for more than three months.
Can I buy Soft Top Cleaner or Soft Top Protector individually?
At present Soft Top Cleaner or Soft Top Protector are not available to purchase individually.
Soft Top Protector has dried on my paint work how can I remove this?
If your paintwork is clean and dry, use Fast Glass on a soft Microfibre Cloth on the affected area. Allow the Fast Glass to soften the residue before gently wiping away, do not rub.
I've used this according to instruction, but it has not removed all the stains?
Soft Top Cleaner is effective at removing most types of soiling associated with soft tops, however aged or damaged soft tops can present an uneven finish which cannot be cleaned to improve.
For more stubborn soiling, allow plenty of dwell time. The cleaner can be left on overnight to provide a deeper intensive clean. We advise to cover the roof with plastic sheeting and secure (use a towel to weigh down or mask) this will prevent the product from drying out, use according to instruction and agitate (ensure a vigorous scrub to really work the product) with the sponge provided and spend a little longer on the problematic areas.
In the morning rehydrate with the cleaner and re-agitate and rinse thoroughly to ensure all residue is removed as this can also result in a patchy appearance if any residue from the cleaner is left on the surface. We would advise to rinse thoroughly using a low-pressure hose or watering can.
My roof is vinyl what can use instead?
Wash with any Autoglym shampoo and protect with Bumper & Trim Gel.
My roof is not repelling water after using the protector?
The water beading effect is something that should be seen in light rain or morning dew however possible reasons that this would not occur would be if there is still surface contamination.
The effect also lessens and disappears in heavy rain as the water quantity becomes too great to be supported by the Protector.
However, once the hood has dried out the beading effect should return again with light rain.
