How do I get algae out of my roof?

You can remove algae from your roof by washing with a soft-top cleaner, brushing, rinsing and repeating for as long as necessary. 

Using a purpose made roof cleaner will help as it has the chemicals for breaking down algae, but there are no short-cuts. Don't be tempted to blast it with a pressure washer, as any jet wash powerful enough to remove the green will be powerful enough to damage your hood, leaving you with zig-zags.

Hood manufacturers do suggest you can use a mild bleach solution on the main body of the hood, but caution you against using it near any stitching.
