FAQs

How long does the protection last?

The Soft Top Protector is designed to last approximately three months. However, durability can vary based on factors such as weather conditions, frequency of use, and how well the product was applied. Reapplication every three months is recommended for optimal performance.

Can I use this kit on my car's vinyl roof?

No, this kit is specifically formulated for fabric convertible hoods (mohair, double duck, canvas). It is not suitable for vinyl or other synthetic materials.

How many applications does one kit provide?

Each Autoglym Soft Top Clean & Protect Kit contains enough product for approximately two full applications on a standard convertible roof.

What should I do if I accidentally get the cleaner on my car's paintwork?

Wipe away any spilled cleaner from painted surfaces immediately with a damp cloth to prevent potential damage or staining. It's advisable to mask off surrounding paintwork before application.

Can I use this kit on a tent or caravan awning?

Yes, the kit is also ideal for use on tents, caravan awnings, and boat canopies, helping to clean and reproof these fabrics.

How often should I clean my soft top?

It is recommended to clean your soft top when it appears visibly soiled or before applying the protector. The protector should be reapplied every three months for continued protection.

Do I need to use both the cleaner and the protector?

Yes, for the best results, it is recommended to use both the cleaner to prepare the fabric and remove dirt, followed by the protector to provide water repellency and protection against soiling.

Troubleshooting

Cleaner not removing stains effectively

For stubborn stains, a second application of the Soft Top Cleaner may be required. Ensure the cleaner is allowed sufficient dwell time before attempting to rinse.

Protector not beading water after application

Ensure the fabric was completely dry before applying the protector. Insufficient coverage or premature exposure to rain can affect performance. Reapply carefully, ensuring full saturation.

Cleaner or protector leaving residue on paintwork

Mask off surrounding paintwork before application. If residue occurs, wipe away immediately with a damp cloth before it dries.

Fabric remains damp after cleaning and drying

Allow more time for the fabric to dry thoroughly, especially in humid conditions. Ensure good air circulation around the vehicle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This kit is designed for use on mohair, double duck, fabric, and canvas fabric hoods. It can also be applied to tents, caravan awnings, and boat canopies.

Setup & Application:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the fabric hood is clean and dry. If heavily soiled, use a dedicated car shampoo or a damp cloth to remove loose dirt.
  2. Cleaning: Apply Autoglym Soft Top Cleaner to the included cleaning sponge. Work the cleaner into the fabric in even strokes, covering the entire surface. Allow it to dwell for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Let the hood dry completely.
  3. Protection: Once dry, apply Autoglym Soft Top Protector using the separate applicator sponge. Apply in even, overlapping strokes, ensuring complete coverage. Avoid applying to painted surfaces.
  4. Drying: Allow the protector to dry fully; this may take several hours, depending on conditions.

Care: For best results, reapply the Soft Top Protector every three months or as needed, especially after heavy rain or washing. Store the cleaner and protector in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
