PROTEX Convertible Soft Top Care Kit, 1 litre, with Canvas Cleaner, Waterproofer and Brushes

PROTEX convertible soft top care kit with cleaner, waterproofer and brushes

A complete soft top care kit for cleaning and protecting canvas convertible roofs, with cleaner, waterproofer and brushes included.

This kit brings together the two stages normally needed for a canvas convertible roof: cleaning first, then sealing and protecting. It includes 1 litre of product, plus two applicator brushes and one soft top cleaning brush, so you have the basic tools needed to work the cleaner and waterproofer into the fabric.

What the cleaner is for

The canvas cleaner is formulated to deep clean the soft top and help prevent the growth of green mildew. It is intended to remove everyday contamination such as bird droppings, road salt, tree sap, mildew and mould. The listing notes that cleaning is the first stage in the Protex soft top restoration process.

What the waterproofer does

The canvas waterproofer is a polymer-based sealant made to protect the canvas soft top against moisture and other environmental damage. It is used after the cleaner, or after Protex Canvas Dye, as the final stage in the restoration process.

Points to check before you use it

• The cleaner should be tested on an inconspicuous area first to make sure the fabric dye does not run.
• Do not apply the cleaner in direct sunlight, as it may dry too quickly to work properly.
• The waterproofer is best applied in cool or overcast conditions to help avoid an uneven finish.
• Shake the bottle well and decant enough product into a separate container before applying it to the soft top.
• Do not expose the canvas to moisture until the waterproofer has fully dried.

Coverage guidance from the listing

• About 500 ml of cleaner is recommended for a 2-seater car soft top.
• About 500 ml of waterproofer is recommended for a 2-seater car soft top.
• After waterproofing, the listing recommends reapplying Protex Canvas Waterproofer every six months.

For owners of canvas convertible roofs, this kit keeps the cleaning and protection steps together in one box, with the brushes included to help you apply each stage more neatly.
