Just used the soft top cleaner, my roof wasn’t that dirty visually but it was filthy. I vacuumed the roof before I washed it. The muck that came of was unbelievable. There were a few stubborn mould stains so went over them again. This product is so much better than the products I’ve used before that was autoglym. Just waiting for my roof to dry so I can use the restorer. At the moment I am so pleased with the product . Watch this space.

This is one of the better, or perhaps the best, video I've seen yet on soft top care. Thank you!

Applied the proofing and the next day the hood was a fresh black again and the rain was beading off. Great product.

Oh bugger ran out of water proffer on the last quarter of my hood. Still seams a fantastic product I will have to order more waterproofer for the last quarter.

Hola. Cómo devolver la flexibilidad a una capota? Mi audi a4 b7 cabrio hace años que no le damos el cariño que se merece y la capota está endurecida. Sabes usted algún producto para solucionarlo? Gracias y saludos desde Valencia (España) 🇪🇸

help! i drove through a car wash and accidentally had wax added. My canvas top is loaded with wax and I can't get it out. Any tricks? It is melting down my windows and into the door panel.

Used 500ml on a TT Roadster as recommended and didnt work as good as I expected, also it takes an age to rinse out of anything including the soft top fabric! Not impressed to be honest

@tonyhill1916 3 жыл бұрын

Why remove it?? If its Fabsil Gold it's an excellent product to put on canvas soft tops.

@deplorabledave1048 3 жыл бұрын

Blowtorch? Not big on silicone based waterproofers. I think u can wash it off with Purple Power (4320P) Industrial Strength Cleaner and Degreaser - 1 Gallon Dilute as recommended. Re seal your paint even after use on your top. Then Raggtop or Protex. BOTH are silicone free! Remember, RaggTopp is the only brand of cleaner and protectant that is recommended by Haartz Corporation and Rode & Schwalenber Gmbh. (Germany)

@dampwookie 3 ай бұрын

Got to remember this is a biased video, recommending their own products over others. Lots of good advice in it, but Fabsil gold is excellent.

Protect canvas restorer - which is basically dye. Makes it look brand new

Step 1 buy the most expensive product you find .. Step 2 cuss yourself for being an idiot and come to the realisation that a 1 pound mould remover is just as good Step 3 use a jet wash just make sure its in its lowest setting .the end

How Can you get jet wash marks out?

@angelabutterworth8816 2 жыл бұрын

I got mine out with lots of scrubbing, my husband jet washed my car when I told him not too and I was deverstated the marks did come out but I do highly recomend the soft top cleaner it so much better than the autoglm I have use before. I am just in the process of doeing a full clean, restor and water proof. The cleaner is fantastic so far.

You are very welcome I love to share good products. Just finish the black soft to restorer, used the full 500ml bottle it soaked it up like a sponge unlike the cleaner. Can’t wait for it to dry and apply the water -proofer. Quick tip wear gloves when applying black restorer , I bought a full kit that came with brushes, scrubber but no gloves but still finding a fantastic product. Such a shame i ran out of the waterproofer after 3 /4 of my roof orfered some more for tomorrow. Looks great anyway. Can’t wait to see the water eolling off my roof.
