Cab. roof cleaner
« on: 19 August 2006, 11:19 »
could anybody recommend cabriolet roof cleaner, i've used LACROE vinyl hood cleaner for some years but have now run out and has been unavailable from LACROE & VW for some time........p.s. my hood is white so a good safe water proof cleaner is required

thanks for the response been looking at that cleaner for some time  but have been reluctant to by it  waiting for a recommendation i hope its better than their vinyl/plastic cleaner used that on my roof and it was dreadful to the point where i think it caused some shrinkage because it became very difficult to close

I agree. The only reason we sell the other stuff at work is because we've run out of the Auto Glym.

auto glym is gud stuff...
i find it easier to have your cloth a little damp wen using the actual cleaner thou, makes the product go further but with same cleaning results...
then use the spray after wiping it clean, causes water to turn into droplets when it hits your roof..
ive actually got a mohair roof, wasnt too keen on cleaning the vinyl when i had it..never looked clean whatever i used :undecided:
