    Best way to clean soft top convertible?

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

    Best way to clean soft top convertible?-imageuploadedbyagonline1452862439-583136-jpg

    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...


    Natural Horse Hair Interior Upholstery Brush


    RaggTopp Convertible Top Care


    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.

    Click the link to read the full how-to article with step-by-step instructions.

    How To Restore and Protect a Vinyl Top using 303 Products




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