Hi, My convertible soft top (black) semms to be a bullseye lately for bird droppings. Having a hard time getting them completely cleaned off. Any one have any recommendations for cleaners and cleaning methods. Thanks in advance for any help.
I use RaggTopp convertible top products, they are available at Auto Geeks: http://www.autogeek.net/rafaca.html
Here's a how-to using Raggtopp products: http://www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-Pro/convertible-top-care-by-raggtopp/ Renovo is another product line: http://store.carcareonline.com/careandfeedingofconvertibleandsofttops.aspx http://store.carcareonline.com/howtouserenovoproperly.aspx http://store.carcareonline.com/convertibletopcare.aspx
First wash and gently brush scrub the top with Awesome (purchased in $ General) cleaner diluted 4 oz. to a 1/2 bucket of water, or use Simple Green. Then spray on a waterproofer sealant such as TFL Protector Water & Stain Repellent, KIWI Aquastop, or Scotchguard Protector. I've used this system for the last 15 years on my 95' 318ic blue top. I just replaced it because of a lousy rear window installation. If it had been done properly the original top would still be on.
