Always wash car and perform roof cleaning in the shade.

To clean a vinyl landau roof, apply vinyl roof cleaner with a white, all-cotton, terrycloth towel to entire vinyl roof.

Do not "spot clean"  as it may result in uneven coloration of the roof at a later point.

For areas with stubborn dirt embedded into the texture of the vinyl, apply the cleaner to a soft, nylon-bristled brush and scrub gently.

Once you're finished applying the cleaner, wait a few minutes and then wipe with a second towel.

Never use harsh chemicals like solvents or bleach as they may damage or discolor the roof.

Avoid abrasive pads, they can scratch and "open up" the vinyl, accelerating wear and creating pores for dirt to stick.

If needed, repeat the cleaning cycle if the vinyl top is extremely dirty.

Apply a vinyl protector when finished.  Stay away from SILICON products.

Cleaning a cloth landau roof

Wash in the shade with car wash soap and water, or soap specifically designed for cloth roofs.

Apply the soap with a sponge or soft brush
Dont use towels, chamois or cleaning cloth. These will push the dirt into the top.

After the top dries, apply a cloth roof/top protectant against the sun's UV rays and to repel dirt.
