Question PC and brushes

I've got a convertible and I've been using 303 on it with great results. But I'd like to really scrub the top down good (to get the deep dirt). There are 4 brushes shown in here for the PC, but they mention everything but a fabric convertible top.

Opinions on which one would be best for this task?

Re: PC and brushes

Aqua IMO, but no experience with convertible tops/brushes. Carpet, upholstery, leather yes. They are a time and arm saver.

Re: PC and brushes

I too have never used the PC and brush attachments for convertibles specifically. Tread lightly with low speed and lightest brush if giving it a college try.

Re: PC and brushes

Thanks to both of you for your replies.

Jimmie - I was undecided between the aqua and the gray.

Actually, I'd hope there was a soft black brush as the feather tips of any color show up on the top after drying. Then I have to break out the duct tape (sigh), oh well.

I'll go with the aqua as the gray has "Each bristle is split in to multiple fine tips".

After the work is done, I'll post the results in here.

Thanks again.

Re: PC and brushes

I would only use the gray, and I am with Scott, be very careful, taking a polisher to a convertible top makes me a little nervous. I would think a soft handheld wash brush would do just the trick. If you do use the PC be very careful of the speed. I take it you are doing the Spyder which is probably a vinyl top, I would be more inclined to use the PC on vinyl then fabric.

Re: PC and brushes

It is a fabric top. I figure that running at it's lowest speed setting with no pressure on it would be ok. There are a few spots that look like stains that I cannot get off with a hand brush. Sometimes I wish it were vinyl like my last car, they are easier to clean.
