Chemical Guys Convertible Top Cleaner & Protectant Kit HOL_996

muy buen precio, el envío fué rápidisimo y el producto muy bueno para la capota de mi MX5

I got a used previous mini cooper with a great paint job and a convertible top that looked like cats lived there. It was pressed down and fabric hard in spots. I followed the instructions for cleaning and used the brush. I scrubbed in straight lines, left to right and then up to down. I did this until it appeared the convertible top was clear of all the layers of dirt. I rinsed until no lather formed. The result? The hard spots are gone and the top is close to new looking. Very pleased. I used the protectant after. Great results for a top I thought I would need to replace.

I was pleased with the quality of both products but it’s only a one time use amount, for sure. I have a Mini Cooper soft-top, so it’s not even that big. But I barely had enough to get through both processes.
But it’s easy to use and works good.

There is a guy on Youtube in a “Chemical Guys” shirt saying that you do not have to rinse the cleaner off before applying the protectant. The bottle says you should rinse it off, so I did rinse the cleaner off before applying the protectant.

The cleaner did not seem to clean anything. The run off water seemed clean. The stains that I did have remained. After rinsing and letting dry I applied almost the entire bottle of protectant to the Toyota Solara convertible top. 2 days later I tested the top for repellency. The top did not repel water but soaked it up as it always did.

I give this product a 3 star rating. It was OK. I think it probably helps keep the top protected but I was dissapointed that it does not repell water or make it bead up in any way. The product was pricey so I expected it to work better. I’m thinking it must be help in some way but it is not evident.

Buen producto pero no me sirvio a mi porque la tela del carro de la capota no se le quito para nada yo creo que es porque ya era mancha vieja de lo que tiran aceite los arboles es fuerte.

This is long, but it is detailed, and it addresses both my reservations and my delight with this product. I hope it helps someone who might be on the fence.
I got this cleaner/ protectant combo for our convertible with a tan/khaki canvas top, mostly because of the number of good reviews here and elsewhere regarding the products.
For perspective, we got the car used a few years ago, and while I don’t know if the previous owners ever cleaned or protected it, I know for sure I didn’t.
We live out in the country in upstate New York, we don’t have a garage, and I never really knew much about convertible top care. Suffice it to say that after a few years here, with the birds (plus the digested poke berries they so willingly leave everywhere), dust, toad salt and wood smoke, the poor top was looking very dirty, black stains and streaks all over… it severely detracted from the overall look of an otherwise very pretty car.
It looked BAD… like worst-case scenario bad short of a ripped top. I truly had almost zero hope that ANY product could possibly do a good enough job to convince me that I wouldn’t need a new top at some point. But better to try, right…?
I got these and didn’t use them right away, mostly because winters up here are more often than not this time of year to be way too cold to be outside spraying stuff on cars in your driveway. I was waiting for, and was glad to finally get an unusually warm spell, though, with precipitation that wasn’t frozen (for a change).
Now, while I might not have known about convertible tops, I DO know quite a lot about cleaning and stain removal in general from many, many other things. So, knowing that nearly any textile is easier to clean once it’s soaked with water, I was happy to have a slow, soaking rain come around. Not too cold a day, not a hard rain, so I went out & sprayed a little but on half of the wet top, let it soak a bit, and then scrubbed it up into shockingly dirty foam with a small, stiff nail brush.
Now I know nobody said anything about letting the roof get wet before cleaning it, and everyone says don’t use a stiff brush, but my thinking was that the dirt and stains were already wet, that the rainwater may buffer the cleaner a bit in case it was too aggressive… and really, what did I have to lose?
After the scrubbing, I rinsed the half-top off thoroughly. I truly wish I had taken a picture of before, after rinsing the first half, and then after I had finished the entire top. The difference was literally astonishing. I re-applied the cleaner to the entire top, spent about 20 minutes scrubbing every square inch, then let it sit for 20 minutes… all in the rain. When I rinsed it off, I was so glad I had bought and used this cleaner.
Did the top look pristine & new? No. It had started in truly awful shape, and it looked SO much better… even wet. I absolutely WILL be using the cleaner to go over it again, and then again if necessary… and I really expect things only to improve as I work the dirt & stains out. After I’m satisfied with the cleanliness & things dry out, I will feel very happy, a bit clever & more than a little accomplished to apply the protectant.
I LOVE instant gratification.
Five stars, easily… and more if I could. Don’t hesitate. Get some and save your top.
