Proper Care for Your Convertible or Fabric Top
A convertible or fabric top is not just a functional element but also a key factor in the appearance of your vehicle. Regular cleaning and sealing are essential to maintain the longevity and look of the top. In this article, we’ll show you how to clean and protect your top with high-quality products from SWISSVAX.
Why is Convertible Top Care Important?
Convertible tops are constantly exposed to the elements – UV rays, rain, dirt, or dust. Without proper care, these factors can damage the material, leading to discoloration, leaks, and premature wear. Thorough cleaning and long-lasting sealing ensure your top looks as good as new, even years later.
Step 1: Cleaning the Convertible Top
A thorough cleaning is the first step in optimal top care. With the SWISSVAX Fabric Top Cleaner, you can easily remove dirt, dust, and other residues without harming the material.
How to Use the Fabric Top Cleaner:
- Lightly moisten the top with water to loosen coarse dirt particles.
- Generously apply the Fabric Top Cleaner and work it into the material using a soft brush.
- Rinse the top thoroughly with clean water to remove all cleaning residues.
- Allow the top to dry completely before proceeding with the sealing.
Step 2: Sealing the Convertible Top
After cleaning, a sealant protects the material from moisture, UV rays, and dirt. SWISSVAX Lotos Protectant products provide long-lasting impregnation and a water-repellent effect.
How to Use the Lotos Protectant:
- Ensure the top is completely dry.
- Evenly apply the Lotos Protectant Long-Lasting Impregnation to the top.
- Work the product into the material using a clean microfiber cloth or sponge.
- Allow the top to dry for several hours to fully develop the protective layer.
For especially long-lasting protection, we recommend the SWISSVAX Lotos Protectant Kit, specially designed for fabric tops.
