Convertible Roof Cleaner
A roof cleaner is a detergent, and while there is nothing magical about them, they are blended to best deal with the kind of organic matter that you will find on soft top roofs.
In the UK, the two most popular brands are Renovo's Fabric Soft Top Cleaner and the soap which comes as part of AutoGlym's Soft Top Clean & Protect kit. Both are pretty good and work well.
We don't use either of these as they are expensive and come in small bottles. Instead, we use a traffic film remover, which we buy as a concentrate in big barrels, we then mix it up a little stronger than you would buy off the shelf, but not especially so. This isn't a better roof cleaner, but it works when used in conjunction with mechanical brushes and plenty of elbow grease. We are often asked what it is we used to get roofs so clean, assuming we have some secret sauce. The secret is hard work and repetition.
