    Just used the soft top cleaner, my roof wasn’t that dirty visually but it was filthy. I vacuumed the roof before I washed it. The muck that came of was unbelievable. There were a few stubborn mould stains so went over them again. This product is so much better than the products I’ve used before that was autoglym. Just waiting for my roof to dry so I can use the restorer. At the moment I am so pleased with the product . Watch this space.

    Blowtorch? Not big on silicone based waterproofers. I think u can wash it off with Purple Power (4320P) Industrial Strength Cleaner and Degreaser - 1 Gallon Dilute as recommended. Re seal your paint even after use on your top. Then Raggtop or Protex. BOTH are silicone free! Remember, RaggTopp is the only brand of cleaner and protectant that is recommended by Haartz Corporation and Rode & Schwalenber Gmbh. (Germany)

    I got mine out with lots of scrubbing, my husband jet washed my car when I told him not too and I was deverstated the marks did come out but I do highly recomend the soft top cleaner it so much better than the autoglm I have use before. I am just in the process of doeing a full clean, restor and water proof. The cleaner is fantastic so far.

    You are very welcome I love to share good products. Just finish the black soft to restorer, used the full 500ml bottle it soaked it up like a sponge unlike the cleaner. Can’t wait for it to dry and apply the water -proofer. Quick tip wear gloves when applying black restorer , I bought a full kit that came with brushes, scrubber but no gloves but still finding a fantastic product. Such a shame i ran out of the waterproofer after 3 /4 of my roof orfered some more for tomorrow. Looks great anyway. Can’t wait to see the water eolling off my roof.
