Autoglym Convertible Soft Top Clean & Protect Complete Kit

With all the rain and bad weather I decided to re proof my new car AUDI A4 CAB which has a fabric automated soft top. I Thought teh price was good and the product worked perfectly, water now neatly beads on top and it was easy to apply with instructions on the bottle. This product provides two uses for a whole soft top. Product tells you to wash of IMMEDIATELY from paintwork or glass if you manage to miss the hood. This is inevitable as the whole hood needs to be generiously covered. Initially i paniced as when I tried to wash it off with water it looked like it had corroded the finish off my paintwork! HOWEVER I was wrong and instead it appeared to just leave a water resistant substance on the paintwork and glass. this is easily removed with some AUTO GLYM super resin polish. Great product great price, protects one of the most expensive parts of the car, Well worth doing before winter

I've marked this 5 stars even though I had some problems. There was a fault with the proofer product that came from Amazon but Autoglym customer service have been briilant and sent me a replacement. I used this on the original hood of my 2004 Mazda MX5 which had started to absorb water rather than repel it. The Autoglym shampoo is excellent, it's really easy to apply - just use on a dampened surface. The sponge it comes with did the job fine and I didn't have to report to a scrubbing brush or similar. I hadn't realised how dirty the hood was, normal car shampoo obviously is not nearly as effective as this product. The water was green! It did take a lot of rinsing to remove all the shampoo but you must do this or the proofer might not work. The proofer just sprays on, yopu just have to make sure there is no overspray. I unclipped the hood and put a large sheet under it which covered the doors and windscreen so I only had to mask the rear window. The hood now looks really tidy and is much more water repellent.

Easy to follow instructions, clearly set out. On my Ds3 fabric roof, I started with the cleaning procedure, very easy to use in conjunction with the special sponge which was supplied in the kit. I rinsed the car first to moisten the roof, which also helped keep the spray off the paintwork, then applied the spray as instructed and gently agitated in circular patterns until the whole roof was covered, I left the soap solution to soak in, 20 mins or so, then scrubbed again and rinsed thoroughly with a low pressure hose until clear. I removed excess water from roof, then applied in sweeping motions applied the roof protector and sealer, being careful to keep away from paintwork, I immediately removed from bodywork with a wet cloth. No further work was needed with the protector, just to apply it evenly and allow to fully dry before using, I then washed the body of the car to remove any over spray. The kit is fantastic, the cleaning solution removed all green algae and was very evident on the white sponge which rinsed out easily. The roof didnt require vigorous rubbing or scouring, and was easy, it cleaned up great, my roof is so much brighter! The protecting and sealing spray was incredibly easy and fast. The next day it tipped it down with rain of biblical proportions (as it usually does when I clean my car) and the rain stayed beaded on my roof until It dried, it's fantastic. Would certainly recommend considering the price point.

I have just purchased a new (to me) Mercedes CLK convertible. It was 5.5 years old, and judging from its service history had not been cared for. It was (at the age of 54) the first soft top I had owned. Prior to purchase, I had done a LOT of research and therefore one of the first things I wanted to do was to give it the tlc it had been missing. One of the first things I did was the roof. There were a number of products out there, but having always used Autoglym products, and having read the reviews, this was the one I chose. It did not disappoint. As a product it does what it (and the reviews) say - it cleans and seals the roof. Water just literally beads on the surface. The instructions do say that you need to be careful of getting the product on the paintwork, so I masked off the paintwork using clear plastic sheeting - people passing by must of wondering what was going on - but it did the job. Some did get through, but a wipe over with Autoglym Super Resin and all was OK.Very happy with the product. Would recommend it, and would buy it again.

I found this product excellent. I actually ordered the protector on its own, but got the cleaner too, an unexpected and welcome bonus. The cleaner came with a sponge, which worked really well in getting off algae. My roof had become very green in places, having been left outside for the winter, and the cleaner brought it back up to a beautiful, new-looking black colour. It did take a bit of rinsing to get all of the cleaner product off the hood, but it got a thorough wash in the process so it was worth it. It was a bit of a pain having to make sure the paintwork was protected from both products; I ended up putting newspaper over the windows and bodywork which worked well for the initial spray, and then had to take it all off to rinse the cleaner off, and then put it back on again to apply the protector. Some guidance recommends masking tape but I found damp newspaper stuck well, and this has the benefit of not risking taking off the paintwork. I probably did get some cleaner on the paint, because the hard to reach places in the folds of the hood were right next to the bodywork and it was unavoidable in order to clean it properly. But this washes off and I haven’t had any adverse effects from this. It is probably more important to ensure the protector doesn’t get on the paint, as you don’t rinse this off. I was worried about trying to get an even coverage of the protector over the whole hood, because it is transparent so not very easy to see what you’ve done. But spraying from a distance of about 30cm in an arc seemed to do the trick. My car is beautifully sealed against the elements now, and you can see the drops of water beading and running off the hood when it has rained. I would thoroughly recommend this product.

"Autoglym's reputation speaks for itself and this is no exception. My recently acquired 2004 Mini Cooper S convertible didn't appear to have been cleaned since new and looked like it had been parked under a tree with green mildew showing in spots. I made sure I had a nice warm but cloudy day with minimal wind to prevent loss and overspray. The neighbours were looking at me daft, but I recommend vacuuming the roof first as instructed. With two applications, the shampoo did need some repeat applications on the stubborn marks and a thumb nail on the really engrained spots. I didn't mask the car body or glass, but washed the car body first and kept a bucket of clean water and cloth handy to rinse off the car body as necessary, which worked fine. I was amazed as the sponge soon began to turn green from the dirt being removed and the roof quickly began to show a great improvement. Have a little patience and don't expect miracles in seconds. The effort you put in reflects the results you get and I would estimate I put a couple of hours in, which was worth every minute.. The sealer went on easy, but I did use quite a bit to ensure it was completely sealed. The roof dried to a clean dark finish and now beads the rain water nicely. From checking round, you can't buy the shampoo and sealer separately. I still have shampoo, but i'm running low on the sealer and will have to buy a complete kit again. Shop around and don't rush to Halfords as you will pay £19.99 for the same kit! I wish i'd taken pics as the finished result is really excellent. Andy.

I love my Autoglym products as you always know what you are getting, but with this product im just not sure. I followed the instructions to the letter, and gave the hood a proper go with the cleaner. This stage seemed to work very well and i used just under half a bottle. The second stage was the protect spray, which again i followed as i should. 2 days later we had rain, and i saw zero evidence of beading or water running off the hood. In fact it just seemed to absorb it. I plan to give it another coat again at the weekend, but that will be the entire kit used, and its meant to last two cleans and protections. Worth it if it works, but quite expensive if it take both complete bottles to get a result.

Easy to use. The top wasn't particularly dirty but it cleaned the top well and removed all the green marks though I did clean the top twice. The top is a light tan colour so shows marks and dirt. I have enough of the solution left for at least another clean. The protector spray has been used up though. I used a kitchen pad as well as the supplied sponge and a small toothbrush to clean the stitching and get the protect solution into the folds and stitching. Well worth the effort and the top looks great. Don't get the protector on the paintwork or windows and let it dry otherwise it's a devil to get off!

Brand new convertible car. This product works really well and protects the fabric.

幌を張り替えた業者さんのお薦めで購入しました。 施工の際は完全に乾かした上で塗布するようマニュアルで指示してます。しかし、刷毛で塗り込む前に乾いた幌の上を薬剤が流れてボディに付着！ そこで、次は乾く前のちょい濡れの状態で施工すると、どたばたすることなくスムーズに施工できました。撥水効果は変わらず。 なお、施工したのに水を掛けていると水が染み込み始めて撥水が効かない旨のレビューがありますが、水を掛け続けて撥水が続くクロス幌はそもそもないそうです。

Produit utilisé sur une MX5 qui roule 7000km par an et dors au garage. Autant le produit nettoyant que l'impermeabilisant ont donné d'excellents résultats. Attention, il est impératif de bien rincer le produit nettoyant, et que la capote soit encore humide pour appliquer l'impermeabilisant. J'ai utilisé une demie bouteille de chaque produit par préparation. L'impermeabilisant a duré 1 an.

I used this to clean the soft top of my car and also see if it would make it water repellent. Cleaning: It had just a few visible greenish spots (algae) when it was wet but otherwise I consider myself taking very good care and keeping the car always clean. I could not believe my eyes when I started scrubbing it! It did an amazing job and a deep cleaning of the top. In the end the color was even more vivid. Protection: make sure the top is wet before applying and you have with you a bucket with clean water to clean any product that may go/drop to windows, rubbers, paint etc, or cover them. I was just cleaning them right away. Leave it to dry completely in the shade (no sunlight) and don't get tempted to test it before it is completely dry! Result: more vivid color after the cleaning, the top is not getting wet and just repels the water. Not sure how it will be after several washing cycles, but definitely a product I will regularly be using!

The only negative thing I can say about this is it does take some time to do it correctly, but it is so worth the time. I wish I had taken before pics, my black soft top was looking grey. It didn’t look dirty or moldy, but it looked old. My little car is 14yrs old. The top had every reason to look old. But replacing a soft isn’t cheap &on a car that’s no longer made makes it even more expensive. Autoglym didn’t bring it back to ‘new’.., I didn’t expect it to. But Autogylm made it look good again. I plan to drive this car for another 14yrs and Autoglym is the only product that I will use from now on. Don’t wast your $$ on the other ‘names’. This is the one that works!!!
