Soft top cleaning
Soft top cleaning
I used 303 fabric cleaner, it is actually a multi surface cleaner. While it did not get it perfectly clean it did a pretty good job. I also use a pressure washer to rinse the cleaner and dirt out of fabric with the pressure dialed down.

Only issue you have using a steam cleaner is that you have to re-proof again if you are cleaning a canvas top. If it is plastic, then you run the risk of melting a hole in it when you get a stubborn spot!

What do u use to re proof
Re: Soft top cleaning
After the soft top completely dried, I coated it with 303 fabric guard. Probably 28 ounces of it.
I also coated some cushions on the deck with the fabric guard, forgot to put them away and the rain came down pretty hard. Pretty good water repellant I hope the UV protection is as good!

I had the original type top and every year I would take it off, spread it in the driveway (after washing the concrete) and brush it with dish soap, hose it off and then spray it with 303. Kept it looking good for ten years.

The that cover on my 710K gets a pressure washing every few years which gets all the
green slime out. Followed by an application of Trek7 or your favorite repellent does the
trick for me.
No, she's not covered now
