How to Clean a Convertible Roof

When it comes to cleaning your convertible roof, choose a cleaner that is safe and effective. Check with your dealer for any recommended items, or use the one found below. With a little time and effort, you will have it looking as good as new.

• Renovo Soft Top Canvas Cleaner
• Sponge
• Soft bristled brush
• Water
• Soft cloths

1. Begin by gently cleaning the area to remove any loose dust or debris.
2. Shake the bottle well.
3. Apply a thin layer of the cleaner with a sponge.
4. Use a soft brush, sponge or cloth to gently rub the cleaner into the canvas.
5. For tougher stains, allow the cleaner to sit on the stain for up to 30 minutes.
6. Remove the cleaner with a soft cloth and water. For the exterior, it can be rinsed away with a hose.
7. Once all of the residue from the cleaner is removed, allow the surface to dry completely.

• Do not allow the cleaner to dry on the surface.
• For additional protection, apply a protectant product designed for the specific material of your convertible once the area is clean.
• When scrubbing the surface with the cleaner, do not allow it to spread to other surfaces as it may cause damage.
• Avoid using bleach-based products. Even though it will remove the mold, the stitching in the convertible top will become weakened and is more likely to become damaged.
• Check your owner’s manual for additional cleaning and care information for your convertible top. With all of the new chemicals and products on the market, they are complete and offer a solid understanding of what can and cannot be used on your particular convertible top.
