Cleaning Convertible Tops

[Mr. Chevy]

Anyone have any good techniques or cleaning ideas/formulas for cleaning convertible tops??? I was going to try Vinylex and or Bon Ami cleanser... The top is white....

Thanks Rich........

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Go to Sam's Club, Costco or BJ's and get the industrial strength and size carton.

Ditto on Mr Clean Magic Eraser...Most grocery stores have it.

Haven't tried the Eraser. In years past have used Soft Scrub w/ Bleach and a stiff-bristled brush.

Eraser made the orig white vinyl top on the RS ZL1 look amazing.

I'll give the Eraser a try next time I need to clean one

Eraser also works great on vinyl interior stuff...

I don't have a Vinyl top..But I have kids, and a Magic Eraser...My wife uses them for everything. Crayon on the wall, scuff marks on the wood floor...they work well.

Thanks for all the help guys... I found an interesting "coctail mix" of stuff that actually worked very well... The top was quite dirty.. I used Blue Coral heavy duty carpet and upholestry cleaner mixed with Scrubbing Bubbles bath cleaner. After spraying I let them sit for about 2-3 minutes (NOT IN THE SUN). I then scrubbed both of these in the top with a brush, then used a soaking wet sponge to wipe off the soap and dirt. Then I used the Magic Eraser industrial strength and wiped over the area that I scrubbed and it came out like brand new.. After everything was clean I soaked and wiped the top down with Vinylex. I also found that 3M makes a rubber and vinyl cleaner that I found at a West Marine Boating Store and is primarily used for boats that actually works well also in place of the Vinylex...

I have to say though, the Magic Eraser was the ticket but it did not work that well until after I scrubbed the top first with the Blue Coral and Scrubbing Bubbles.... I think the top was just that dirty..

Thanks again........Rich
