So its that sad time of year where I will be fitting the hard top on. But before I do, its probably worth giving the soft top and good scrub.
So whats the best way of cleaning the soft top? Which products is recommended? And how many buckets should I use?
What you put in, you'll get back ten fold

Just a good wash, then some Renovo cleaner, and maybe use some Renovo proofer so that its all done and sorted before being tucked away.

Re: Soft Top Cleaning
Just initially wash it using the same car shampoo as would be used to wash the body?

If you can get your hands on one a low bar power washer is a good tool to use first, to help with a deep clean.

Yes, and it wont hurt to give it a scrub with something like a kitchen brush or a nail brush

Here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01_0a1tQY9k though you have to buy more than one product for the full treatment it seems.

Ideally you need the cleaner and the proofer.
