RAGTOP CLEANING TIPS

Convertible tops are not like the rest of your car’s exterior. the vinyl can absorb stains which take more that  a simple wash to get rid of .

avoid using abrasive cleaners such as scouring powders when you clean your convertible top. these products will clean the surface now but the top will begin to show signs of damage later on. It is wise to use a high quality cleaner specifically designed for vinyl convertible tops. These cleaner should be applied in the shade and the top should be cool to the touch.

When cleaning the plastic rear window, do not use a glass cleaner, since the chemicals in these can actually damage the plastic. also dont press to hard no matter how soft the towel your using is as you might scratch the plastic. There are products available designed specifically for cleaning plastic windows. Be sure to apply these cleaners in a side to side motion since these windows are very prone to swirl marks well. To make your top look new use a lint roller at the end of every wash to pick up any lint your towel has left behind.

Leather has tiny pores that allow  moisture to pass through. these small pores absorb perspiration and once the water evaporates, salt dirt is left behind. These contaminants draw moisture from the oils in the leather and cause it to harden and crack.

Only products designed to clean leather can get into these pores and lift out the debris. it’s also a good idea to apply a conditioner after cleaning. this will restore essential oils and keep the leather looking like new.

leather is like a sponge when it is new it is full of essential oils but over time sweat, heat and UV rays dry it out. with proper care, your leather will stay looking g new.
