Thank you for not adding music, it’s just so much better 😀
This is one of the better, or perhaps the best, video I've seen yet on soft top care. Thank you!
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.
Always use this on my 9-3. Never disappointed.
Applied the proofing and the next day the hood was a fresh black again and the rain was beading off. Great product.
Thanks for the video, the wife's just bought a new soft top so will be purchasing the product 😀
Thank you
I own a SAAB. Thank you again for showing her.
This video was very helpful, thank you!
Without doubt Protex is the best product I've used to clean and replenish.
Great advice put to work on a lovely Saab 9-3. Thank you!
Outstanding. Thank you!
Excellent video very helpful. Thank you
Yes helpful 🎉
Thanks for this. I was just about to head out to the jet wash!
i just got a convertible and am soon replacing the cloth top. is there a preferred product for a medium light parchment color top?
Very useful video
Glad you think so!
Can you use a roller to apply product on the top instead of a brush .
Rain X works great on vinyl & canvas
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.
Does same thing apply for vinyl tops. Best to avoid car washes?
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) 🇪🇸
it is the same in beige soft top? I have almost no information for the color beige
Where can I buy the product? In the UK only?
Good afternoon

Please let me know which Brand I need to buy for top Paint..
Actually I have bmw 650i my top is looking bad and also some time coming Alarm in front of Display..
303 fabric guard left my convertible top with white spots. Any idea how to get if off?
I just bought my dream car in a cream soft top convertible Volkswagen and nearly took her through the car wash….im so glad I didn’t!!! Thank you!!!
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
I've just bought a 23-year-old Mercedes SL. I want to clean and seal the top. How do I know if solvent-based sealants have been used in the past?

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.
I used fabsil two coats on my saab 93 soft top.. how do i remove it to apply protex waterproofer
Why remove it?? If its Fabsil Gold it's an excellent product to put on canvas soft tops.
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)
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.
2:23 hummm it looks rather like brand new fabrick and sowing 😕 the produck must be very good... we briugh oir car to a poace ro clean the rop but we can still see white residuals 🙄
How do you get rid of jet wash marks?
Protect canvas restorer - which is basically dye. Makes it look brand new
“Hamilton Academicals 2 - Forfar Athletic - 0”
Quite relevant to the topic at hand 😅

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
Damn fool.
Oh this is an advertisement, what a shame. It would be nice to see a video on how to do this with readily available and cheaper products.
How Can you get jet wash marks out?
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.
@@angelabutterworth8816 thank you 😊
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.

Alright this convinced me to buy a hard top convertible instead of soft
Then you are missing out on the joy of having the sun on your face and the wind in your ears pal.
'reproof every 6 months, preferably in the Autumn'.
Good luck.
I'm not watching this because of the computer voice, I'll look elsewhere on you tube
What are you talking about? Be glad for good tips. Why are you carrying about voice?😂
stay away from soft tops unless you live in california!
Meh - I own 4 convertibles if you include the wifes - not a problem. They are 42 years old, 20 years old and 5 years old, no probs
@@sparkyhx not at all, if you keep them in you living room mate!
