I'm going to be cleaning my dad's mustang GT soon & I might consider cleaning the convertible...

40170

I can't seem to find any good cleaners out there but I know you guys can...

Or should I just consider using automotive soap on it?

I use RaggTopp products.

In addition:

Here's a Mike Phillips article regarding your concern:

Definitely get a Horse Hair Brush to avoid fraying the fibers of the cloth top and stick with RaggTopp products for cloth tops...

The above is also what I show in my detailing classes when we have a cloth top convertible.

I show 303 for vinyl tops.

I'm pretty sure that model has a vinyl top.mustangs with cloth tops are usually offered in the premium package.

To the thread starter.... if it is a vinyl top then either RaggTopp or 303 products. Both are top notch and very safe.

I have a full article on cleaning a vinyl hard top here BUT the same information will apply to cleaning a convertible/flexible vinyl top.

The car I used was an all original 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass with less than 30,000 original miles.
