How Do You Clean A White Convertible Top?
How Do You Clean A White Convertible Top? does anyone know how to clean a white convertible top? anything special to use to make it back to its normal color or is it ruined? it is just a litte off white..
Wow dude good luck on that.
My 1997 Sebrings tan top turned greenish when the entire thing molded over. I ended up just giving the car to my brother in law because of that crap.
He used a carpet cleaner on the thing and eventually it removed the majority of the discoloring. Don't even think about taking it through a do it yourself car wash and using the high-pressure wash on it from like 3 inches away.
I didn't do it personally but I laughed my *** off about how it punched/bleed through the fabric and flooded the Sebring.

Yeah but considering I couldn't get a the tinge out of a tan top a discolored white top is going to be WAY more difficult to clean than a black top.
The big problem with my old black topped C5 was why my cat seemed to decide it was the most wonderful place in the world to sleep.

When you says bleach white do you mean bleach or is bleach white a brand name?
There has to definately be a way to clean it though tell us how the "really works" stuff works on white top.
Any chance you can better describe just how the top is dirty.

The white top that you have should be a vinyl top....right?
I use RaggTop protectant. It's the best on the market. They have a top cleaner, but depending on how far gone your top is, it may not be agressive enough (just like paint....when it's faded, soad, water and wax won't help).

In that case, do a google search on vinyl and how to clean and restore it. You're looking for solutions for a convertible top, but remember, it's simlar material to what's used on other items, so look for how to clean the MATERIAL, not the application of the material.
