Convertible roof maintenance

Open top car owners are finally able to take full advantage of their cars. But do not forget to take care of the condition of the soft top, especially if the convertible was used all year round.

To clean the roof, it is worth getting a soft brush or sponge and a suitable cleaning agent. important the sponge or brush used for washing was clean because sand and other dirt could damage the material or scratch the convertible's normally fragile rear window. In addition, brushing in the "pile" direction is recommended. So that the fibers of the fabric do not crumble. If you follow a simple path, you can use a contactless car wash. However, in this case, care must be taken not to damage the roof sheathing and seals. Therefore, follow the car wash manufacturer's instructions and do not direct the jet of water directly at the roof and seals at a very close distance. For the same reason, the use of automatic washes is not recommended. In this case, the rotating brushes of the car wash may not be gentle enough.

After the roof is clean, it must be impregnated. Impregnations preserve the material and reduce its susceptibility to moisture absorption. Thanks to them, the subsequent cleaning of the roof should also take less time. For the impregnation of the roof should use special tools. Before spraying the drug, first check its effect in a less visible place. After we have made sure that the product is suitable for the roofing material, it should be evenly distributed over the entire surface, but try not to apply it to glass and varnish.
