Cleaning Your Cloth Canvas Convertible Top

 Whether it's hot or cold outside, it's important to protect your convertible
top from the elements, and there are several ways to achieve this. Begin with
proper maintenance, which is key to keeping your car in good condition,
regardless of whether your convertible top is cloth or vinyl.


Today we are going to go over how to clean a canvas convertible top.



  1. Remove as much of the dirt particles pine needles and sap as possible. Make
    sure to use a soft bristle brush on a dry top to remove the many things that
    have stuck on top, try not to over brush.

  2. Use a mild soap and water while cleaning your convertible top, this is a
    safe way to go. Be sure to rinse thoroughly.

  3. Allow top to dry completely.

  4. Apply the necessary protectants to lengthen the life of your convertible
    top. This will help to repel the water and make it look good.

**Our product that we recommend is 'RAGG Topp'  Convertible Top Care Kit. It
comes with a Cleaner and Protectant.**


TIPS:




  • Wash your
    convertible top regularly. It's recommended that you clean your convertible top
    at least once every 4 weeks to keep dirt from sinking into the
    fabric.

  • Avoid washing your top in direct sunlight

  • Always wash your convertible top all at once rather than washing in spots,
    as this may cause certain areas of the top to be discolored.

**WARNING**


AVOID
washing your convertible top with common household cleaners such as bleach,
which can cause the fabric or vinyl to deteriorate.

Are you thinking bout having your car seats re-done? First you will need to decide if you want cloth, vinyl or leather. Do you want to keep with the original design or do something custom? What about colors, piping and solid or two-tone?

If you have a classic car and want OEM (original) material, you should know that it can be a bit of a challenge to track down, depending on year, make and model of your car, and that OEM material can get expensive.

We are an authorized Katzkin dealer and installation facility. Katzkin has a ton of leather options and you can go online to www.katzkin.com and design your seats online then bring us that print out so we can get you a price quote and order your seat covers the same day. We always suggest you bring your car by so our highly trained techs can take a look at your seats and make suggestions on what may be best for them. We never charge for estimates and no appointment is necessary. If you have questions you can always give us a call 757.480.3660. We're happy to help!
