A cleaning foam in a 400 ml can for every convertible soft top, from cotton-blend fabric to vinyl, for spot cleaning or the whole roof. It's not a proofer and not a pigmented colour restorer: it won't bring back water repellency or faded colour.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Wack A1 Cabrio \"Verdeck-Reiniger\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is a soft top cleaner from Dr. Wack that works as a clinging power foam. The foam stays put on the sloped roof, lifts road film, green algae and individual stains out of the top layer and holds them until you rinse foam and dirt off together. The manufacturer approves it for every type of top: fabric, acrylic, Dralon, plastic and leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere the form does the work, not just the chemistry. A liquid cleaner runs down a soft top in seconds and drags the loosened dirt with it into the capillaries of the fabric. Foam has a yield point — it stays where it is until a force acts on it. For you, that means the dirt travels up into the foam and leaves the roof with the rinse water, instead of soaking in one layer deeper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy a soft top gets dirty differently from paint is explained in Dr. Wack's product information sheet. Most tops are built in three layers: a cotton inner lining as the headliner, a rubber interlayer, and on top an outer layer of plastic, acrylic, polyacrylonitrile or cotton-blend fabric. That outer layer is rough and soft. Dirt doesn't sit on top — it snags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it's delicate. Dr. Wack explicitly gives soft tops a low abrasion resistance: scrubbing attacks the surface texture and colour depth before it gets to the dirt. That's exactly why a cleaner that sits for 5 minutes beats a good hard scrub. Time does the work, not pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDwell time on the slope instead of run-off.\u003c\/strong\u003e A soft top is a sloped surface where any liquid runs off before it works. The power foam stays where you put it and can work the full 5 minutes on stubborn grime. That's the difference between one soak and three re-sprays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 to 12 complete roofs from 400 ml.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dr. Wack puts the yield for full-coverage foaming at 8 to 12 applications, compared with 2 to 6 with conventional products. If you only treat individual stains, a can goes much further, because the foam goes exactly where you aim it and nothing is wasted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne cleaner for five roof materials.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic, fabric, acrylic, Dralon and leather are all on the manufacturer's list. So in a two-convertible household you don't need a second can when a fabric top sits next to a vinyl one. According to Dr. Wack, the foam doesn't attack the factory proofing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDay-to-day from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e We often see people aim the can at a bone-dry roof because it's quicker. It isn't quicker — it kills the effect: dry fabric soaks up the foam in seconds, and down there it doesn't work any more. Give it 2 minutes with the hose until the fabric is evenly dark, then reach for the can. And start at the seams and on the shady side. That's where water sits longest, and that's where the green film shows up first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe power foam holds on the slope for 5 minutes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWet the roof, rinse off loose dirt, shake the can, spray the foam onto the dirty areas and leave it for 5 minutes on stubborn grime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePre-wetting isn't a footnote in the instructions. Dry fabric pulls the foam straight into its capillaries, and there it doesn't work — it just vanishes. An evenly soaked roof is saturated: there's no more suction under the foam, so it stays on top where the dirt is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWork with a soft, damp sponge, no pressure, in strips. Rinse the sponge out as you go, otherwise it holds on to the loosened grit and turns into a sanding block on a fabric with low abrasion resistance. The cleaner does the loosening; the sponge only has to lift it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a single stain, the same rule applies on a small scale. Spray spot-on onto dry fabric and you end up with two problems: the stain and a tide mark around it, because the floated dirt is left behind at the drying edge. So wet the whole strip the stain sits in and work past the seam. The foam can go spot-on; the moisture has to cover a wide area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, rinse with clean water until you can't see any more foam forming. Dr. Wack names exactly this test in its own care tips, and there's a physical reason for it: surfactants are wetting agents. Whatever's left of them in the fabric lowers the surface tension of water and attracts moisture instead of repelling it. You'll notice it like this: a badly rinsed roof dries slower than before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/dr-wack-a1-cabrio-verdeck-reiniger-cabrioverdeckreiniger_anwendung.png?v=1787867798\u0026amp;width=1400\" alt=\"Dr. Wack A1 Cabrio Verdeck-Reiniger being sprayed as a band of foam onto the pre-wetted fabric roof\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe brightener refreshes the colour, it doesn't re-dye\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour-refreshing effect is real, and it has a clear limit: it's optical, coming from a brightener and from the grey haze being gone, not from pigment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula contains a stilbene-based optical brightener, the same type of substance that makes white laundry look whiter. It settles on the fibre, absorbs invisible UV light and gives it back as visible blue. In practice, a tired-looking black looks rich again afterwards because the yellow cast is neutralised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it can't do is replace lost pigment. A roof that has faded on the sunny side after several summers will come up clean and even again, but not black again. That takes a pigmented soft top dye, and that's a different step with a different risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second limit is mechanical and final. Where a stiff brush or a pressure washer held too close has roughed up the top layer or damaged a seam, no cleaner brings the texture back. Raised fibres scatter the light, the spot stays dull and grey and from then on picks up dirt faster. Dr. Wack's own care tips explicitly warn against pressure washers, car washes and stiff brushes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe third limit is more a matter of context. There's no independent lab test of this cleaner: test institutes and car magazines have so far tested soft top proofers, not cleaners. So what's backed up here is what Dr. Wack states in its product information sheet, verifiable with the manufacturer in Baar-Ebenhausen. We'd rather say so than hint at a test win that doesn't exist for this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCleaning alone keeps the roof clean, not dry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA freshly cleaned roof is open, absorbent and unprotected — and in exactly that state, the next step decides how long it stays clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGreen film on a soft top isn't dirt that settles, it's something that grows. Algae and moss need just one thing for that: time with moisture. A roof that soaks up every shower and then needs two days to dry out gives them that time every single week. The cleaner gets the green film out. It doesn't shorten the drying time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat's why Dr. Wack's instructions don't end with a full stop but with a fork in the road. If your roof is fabric, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/dr-wack-a1-cabrio-verdeck-impraegnierer-textilimpraegnierung\"\u003eCabrio \"Verdeck-Imprägnierer\" fabric proofer\u003c\/a\u003e goes on once it's dry, stopping it from soaking up water and so cutting drying time. If it's plastic or vinyl, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/dr-wack-a1-kunststoff-tiefenpfleger-kunststoffpflege-glaenzend\"\u003e\"Kunststoff-Tiefenpfleger\" trim care\u003c\/a\u003e is next, because soft PVC doesn't need water repellency but the plasticisers it loses over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSkip the second step and you don't just lose the protection — you lose the cleaning work faster too. An unproofed roof soaks up the next rain, stays dark and damp for longer and in that time picks up dust, pollen and spores that cling to the wet fabric. The next green film starts the day you finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho the can is worth it for: anyone who keeps their convertible outdoors or under trees, second cars with fabric tops that sit for long periods over winter, and anyone who wants to treat individual stains rather than foam the whole roof. If your convertible lives in a garage and you wipe the roof down once a year, an all-rounder from our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/textil-und-polster\"\u003efabric and upholstery care\u003c\/a\u003e will get you just as far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe point no manufacturer prints on the can: the can is also your test kit. Before pre-wetting, put a walnut-sized blob of foam on an inconspicuous spot of the still-dry roof. If it stands up as a white dome, the proofing is still alive. If it slumps into a dark patch within a few seconds, it's gone — and the second step isn't optional that day. Three seconds of effort, and you know before you start what you'll need afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Dr. Wack \"A1\"","offers":[{"title":"400 ml","offer_id":54707182240079,"sku":"D1-DRW-2520","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/dr-wack-a1-cabrio-verdeck-reiniger-cabrioverdeckreiniger.png?v=1787867170"},{"product_id":"meguiars-convertible-top-cleaner","title":"Convertible Top Cleaner soft top cleaner","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMeguiar's Convertible Top Cleaner — soft top cleaner for cloth, mohair and vinyl convertible tops\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat makes the Meguiar's Convertible Top Cleaner stand out?

As the highest and most exposed panel, it takes constant hits from UV, fine dust, pollen, bird droppings and acidic rain when it's down — and when it's up, it's your main barrier against damp and cold. Skip the regular upkeep and the top slowly loses its proofing, gets more prone to mould and moss, and starts looking tired. The first and most important step in any top care is a proper clean — and that's exactly what the \u003cstrong\u003eMeguiar's Convertible Top Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e was built for. The specially formulated cleaning solution cleans every common top material deep and safe, without attacking the delicate fibres or leaving residue behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafe on every common top material.\u003c\/strong\u003e Canvas, mohair, cloth and vinyl — the cleaner is developed and tested for all four. That matters, because convertible top materials react very differently to cleaning agents: products that are too alkaline attack vinyl tops, and overly aggressive surfactants can damage the water-repellent fibres of cloth and canvas tops. Meguiar's dialled in the formula so it cleans effectively on all of these without leaving any damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRinses off residue-free.\u003c\/strong\u003e The formula rinses away clean — no cleaner film stays on the top after you rinse.

Acid rain leaves lime spots and can damage the fibres over time; bird droppings carry uric acid that eats in deep if you don't get to it quickly. The Convertible Top Cleaner lifts this grime on purpose, without you having to scrub the surface raw.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDay-to-day from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dampen the top with clean water before you clean — it loosens loose dirt and helps the cleaner do its job. Spray the cleaner evenly onto the damp top and work it in lengthwise with a soft top brush (nothing too stiff!). Never brush against the grain of the fibres. Rinse the top thoroughly with clean water — no cleaner can be left in the material. Let it dry fully. Only once it's completely dry do you apply a proofing — a clean, dry top is the only one that takes the proofer properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy cleaning the top is the first step in any convertible care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlenty of convertible owners hit their top with a proofer — but skip the step that actually matters: a proper clean. A proofer laid down on a dirty or aged top never soaks fully into the fibres. The dirt particles and old wax residue on the top form a barrier that stops the proofer bonding evenly. What you get is patchy protection with weak spots where moisture can creep in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cleaner spray solves that as step 1 in the care cycle: clean, dry, proof. Only when the top is genuinely clean and free of old residue can the proofer that follows build its full protection. The deep-acting formula pulls out not just surface grime but the deposits that have worked their way into the top fibres over months or years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow often you clean depends on how hard you use the car and the conditions it lives in. Rule of thumb: if you run your convertible year-round and park under trees a lot, clean the top at least four times a year. In towns with more dust and heavy bird traffic, more often. Sounds like a lot, but day-to-day it's a 20–30 minute job — and it pays off in a top that lasts noticeably longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother big one is keeping mould and moss at bay. Organic stuff — pollen, tree sap, leaf residue — is exactly what moss and mould feed on when a top is left unkempt. Regular cleaning with the Convertible Top Cleaner stops that build-up and keeps the top free of organic growth. Mould on a convertible top is a pain to get rid of and can wreck the material for good — prevention through regular cleaning is a lot easier than fixing it after the fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCanvas, mohair and vinyl — the different top materials and what sets them apart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot all convertible tops are built the same, and that changes how you clean them. The three most common top materials differ in their structure and in what they ask of a cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCanvas and cloth tops:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common material on modern convertibles is a woven canvas top made from synthetic or natural fibres. Cloth tops breathe well but are prone to water soak-through and mould once the proofing fades. The open fibre structure also makes them more likely to trap dirt particles. The Convertible Top Cleaner works into these fibres and lifts the trapped particles without harming the weave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMohair tops:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mohair is a premium material made from natural goat fibres, mostly fitted to classic sports cars and vintage models. It's especially delicate and needs a gentle clean. The Convertible Top Cleaner is tested for mohair and cleans it without changing its signature texture. With mohair, always work with a really soft brush and light pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinyl tops:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl tops shrug off water and mould better than cloth tops, but they don't like solvent-based cleaners or overly alkaline products that turn the material brittle. The Convertible Top Cleaner is formulated to be vinyl-friendly and keeps the material supple and colour-fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use the Meguiar's Convertible Top Cleaner properly — step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaning a convertible top calls for a different technique than the bodywork. The material is more delicate, the surfaces less even, and the risk of causing damage with the wrong technique is higher. Getting the approach right makes all the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrep:\u003c\/strong\u003e Move the car into the shade or clean on an overcast day. Direct sun dries the cleaner too fast, before it can do its work. Pre-rinse the top with a gentle stream of water — no pressure washer, which could damage the seams. A soft, low-pressure hose is plenty to clear loose dirt and dampen the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplying the cleaner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spray the cleaner evenly onto the damp top. A standard top takes about 15–20 ml. The bottle throws an even mist that spreads without streaks. Don't miss any spots — cover the whole top, especially the edges and seams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorking it in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Work it in along the grain with a soft, medium-firm top brush (not too stiff, or you'll tear at the fibres). Skip circular motions — they knot the fibres up. On stubborn stains, lay a little more cleaner on locally and give it 1–2 minutes extra dwell time. The cleaner foams up a little as you work it — that's a sign the active ingredients are doing their thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRinsing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse the top thoroughly with clean, running water. No cleaner can stay in the material — leftovers would spoil the proofing that follows. Rinse top to bottom, so the water carries the loosened grime downward instead of running back into areas you've already cleaned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrying:\u003c\/strong\u003e Let the top air-dry fully — don't rush it with a hairdryer or hot air, since heat can damage the material. Depending on temperature and humidity, full drying takes 2–4 hours. Only then do you apply a proofing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA handy tip for drying: park the convertible in the sun, but not in extreme heat. Moderate warmth from the sun speeds up drying without stressing the material. Once it's fully dry the top feels a touch rougher than when damp — that's normal, and a sign of the open, clean fibre structure that takes the follow-up proofing best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCleaning a convertible top — common problems and how the Convertible Top Cleaner helps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConvertible owners know a handful of typical top problems, and the Convertible Top Cleaner is the first move for each of them:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLime spots and water marks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hard water leaves white lime residue on the top once it dries — most visible on vinyl, but a nuisance on dark cloth tops too. The Convertible Top Cleaner dissolves these mineral deposits and brings back the even look. With really heavy lime spotting, a second pass may be needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBird droppings and tree sap:\u003c\/strong\u003e These organic messes are among the most common and most damaging things that land on a convertible top. Bird droppings carry uric acid that etches the material if it's not cleared quickly. Reach for the Convertible Top Cleaner on these as soon as you can — the longer they sit, the deeper they go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreen film and algae:\u003c\/strong\u003e In damp regions, or on cars that sit outside for long stretches, a green film of algae or moss often forms on the top. The Convertible Top Cleaner clears this organic growth effectively, as long as you give it enough dwell time — on heavy growth, let it work 3–5 minutes before you brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOily deposits from the road:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cars that rack up motorway miles pick up oily deposits on the top from the tyre spray of the cars around them. Water alone won't shift these oil-based marks — the surfactants in the Convertible Top Cleaner grab them and let you rinse them off completely. On light-coloured tops especially, these deposits stand out and are worth clearing regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDried-on old dirt:\u003c\/strong\u003e A top that stood through winter without a clean often shows stubborn deposits in spring from rain, frost and organic matter. A thorough spring clean with the Convertible Top Cleaner is the recommended way to open the convertible season, before you re-proof the top for the months ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConvertible top cleaner comparison — Meguiar's Convertible Top Cleaner vs the alternatives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe market for top cleaners holds various products that differ in make-up, material compatibility and where they fit. A straight overview helps you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConvertible Top Cleaner vs car shampoo:\u003c\/strong\u003e A normal car shampoo is formulated for painted bodywork, not for textile top materials. Car shampoos often leave surfactant residue in the top fibres and hurt the water repellency. For regular top cleaning, a dedicated top cleaner like the Convertible Top Cleaner is the better call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConvertible Top Cleaner vs all-purpose cleaner:\u003c\/strong\u003e APCs and household cleaners often run too high or too low on pH for delicate top materials. Vinyl tops in particular react badly to the wrong pH — fading and brittleness can follow. The dedicated Convertible Top Cleaner is tested across the whole pH-sensitive range of convertible top materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConvertible Top Cleaner as part of a care system:\u003c\/strong\u003e It works best as step 1 in a two-stage care system: clean first, then proof. As a companion product, Meguiar's offers the Convertible Top Protector, which builds the protective layer after cleaning. Running both together gives noticeably better long-term results than proofing alone with no clean first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean only now and then without proofing separately, and the top loses its protection faster — the fibres get more porous over time and take on moisture, which invites mould. A consistent clean-and-proof every 6–12 months measurably extends the life of a cloth top and saves a lot more in the long run than a replacement top would cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying advice — who is the Meguiar's Convertible Top Cleaner for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMeguiar's convertible top cleaner spray\u003c\/strong\u003e is the right pick for any convertible owner who wants to keep their top in good shape for the long haul. The 16 oz (473 ml) bottle at 20.90 EUR is good for plenty of full cleaning cycles, so it works out well on cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's an especially good shout for the spring clean after winter, before every re-proof, and after heavy use in wet spells or after parking under trees. If you use your convertible regularly, treat the top with the Convertible Top Cleaner at least twice a year — in spring, and in autumn before winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're deep-cleaning a top for the first time — say after buying the car, or after a few years of neglect — plan a bit more time for that first go. A heavily soiled or moss-grown top may need two passes to come fully clean. After that, the regular maintenance clean is much quicker and easier. It's worth putting the work into that first recovery, because a top that's been thoroughly cleaned once and then proofed is far easier to keep in good shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a full convertible care routine we recommend the following system: clean with the Convertible Top Cleaner, let it dry fully, then proof with a Convertible Top Protector. Run this care cycle twice a year and the top stays water-repellent, mould-resistant and good-looking — far longer than it would without regular care.
