Anyone have advice on cleaning conv. top?
My 67 is mostly original, apparently including the dirt on the top. Sure is dirty. So I am cleaning it, sort of. The picture looks like it is really clean on one half but it really is not that clean. SO, anyone have advice on how to get all the dirt off? I've done the entire top and it took 3 hours of scrubbing and needs a lot more.
Thanks

I use wesley's bleach white BUT...... be real careful. I would spray it directly on a rag. It does a great job but you then need to use another wet rag to wipe it down then the hose to make sure its all off. I have done that with great success on my old top. I believe you need to be careful with it. Wonder what others thoughts on the use of Wesley's are?
My new top - I have only used water but use welseys on the parade boot as that gets real dirty.

bill hirsch sells a convertable top cleaner and a conditioner, I used it on my dads old mustang (black top) so it was hard to see how much it cleaned unlike a white top but I didnt have any complaints w it and BH sells quality products and it is a specific use item so I guess i endorse it

I have used Wesleys on my vinyl top on my 72 Cutlass with good results. Simple Green also does a good job. The stuff that Hirsch carries is RaggTapp. I have used it on the cloth top on my 54. It is a great product but not cheap. It has a cleaner and a treatment. I don't think it is necessary on a vinyl top.

A friend of mine ordered some type of heavy duty conv top cleaner and after he got it was afraid to use it. He gave it to me and after I read the instructions I also am afraid to use it- apparently real nasty-potent stuff. I guess if you need a real heavy duty top cleaner this would be it. Pm me if you want me to get it out and find out the brand, etc.

I use Blue Magic convertible top cleaner/protectant. Has worked great on my Jeep's soft top for years and does the same on my Cutlass.

Westleys or Black Magic doesn't smell like it has chlorine bleach maybe some other bleach, sure works good on white walls though. I just use a soft scrub brush and if it is real dirty a little Meguiars gold car wash and that does it for me.....Tedd

OK, don't laugh. Back in the early '70's my dad had me and my brothers weekly scrubbing the white convertible top with a scrub brush and ... Comet cleanser.
I haven't tried that on mine yet and not sure I will.
