Does anyone have suggestions or recommendations for care of the top on the convertible?

 

Anyone???

Bueller???

 

I'm curious myself....

 

maybe we are the first ones to think of it...

 

There are plenty of threads here about vert top care... a search will show you. Personally, I don't use anything other than a good wash and rinse when washing and a damp cloth to wipe it down once a week when detailing. My top is down 95% of the time anyway so I'm not entirely concerned. I have read some that have used Armorall products and some that have used a product Raggtop. Let us know your personal findings and preferences...

 

cloth or vinal?

 

Gman13,
I called my local ford dealer and they stated they do not recommend using any thing other than soap and water.

Gman what wheels and tires are those on the black stang.

 

First question - are we looking at a vinyl top, or a cloth top? Next question - how dirty is it? Most likely, if you keep the top clean with general maintenance, you won't need anything extra. Most of the articles I've read talk about how to "revive" an old vert top, until it gets bad, it doesn't sound like a whole lot of extra care is needed for vinyl. Eventually, a cloth top will need some cleaning and water proofing. RaggTopp, Griot's Garage, and a few other manufacturers, have products for that event.

 

Don't use amorall. I heard bad things about using that on the top. Just look at your local parts store for some kind of convertible top conditioner.

 

The best thing to clean the top is a mild soap and water, no pressure washing either... Do not use Amorall it will make the top brittle over time.
