Convertible Tops Management

Convertible top look great but if there is no proper management, it won’t stay long. The major damage caused to convertible tops is by sunlight. In modern convertible tops gear windows are common. And this gear window is first part to suffer from scratches and discoloration. Which look too bad? So to maintain these, you should use convertible top cleaners, soft sponge or brush, vinyl window cleaner, convertible top protectant, breathable car cover, soft terry cloth towel and clothing lint roller. Here are the following steps you need to follow to manage your convertible tops:

*    Specialty cleaners should be used on soft tops. If the vehicle is parked outside then you should clean convertible tops more often or at least two times a year is necessary. High quality convertible top cleaner should be used and if possible make sure that cleaner’s are biodegradable. Avoid the use of harmful detergent and powder that  contain chlorine based bleaching agents because they can weaken a top seam threads and eliminate essential oils in vinyl tops that are needed for protection against ultra-violet rays of the sun.

*    Next step is washing the top. But be sure you don’t do it in direct sunlight. Before wetting the top be sure that it is cold. Wet the top thoroughly and then spray evenly a light coating of top cleaner across the top.  Now with the use of sponge or brush scrub away the dirt. When the top is clean, wash off the cleaner with plenty of water. Continue until the suds disappear and rinse water runs clear.

*    For plastic window avoid using ordinary glass cleaner because this can damage the window. Instead apply cleaner and polishes specifically designed for plastic window. This product will help removing scratches and dirt and also helps to prevent the plastic from discoloring.

*    There is no need for you to use the top cleaner every time you wash the top, you can simply clean it with plain water. But fold the top only after it dry completely.

*    Use a top protectant after cleaning in order to preserve color and texture of top material. As this will help avoid fading and cracking.

*    Any birds dropping shit should be removed immediately as they can damage the top since they are acidic.

*    Don’t allow the snow to accumulate on your top. As heavy load of snow will bend the metal frame of the top and will cause scratches also.

*    Try parking your car in garage or carport, in order to avoid unnecessary damage.

*    Always place a soft towel or baby blanket over the plastic rear window when ever you fold the top in order to avoid scratches.

This are the few basic tips should be followed in order to make your top look new always as for everything you buy maintenance is a must for its long life.
