Soft Top & Fabric Coatings

Soft Top & Fabric Coatings

Soft top and fabric coatings are designed to protect convertible roofs, upholstery, and other textile surfaces against water, dirt, and UV damage. By creating a durable hydrophobic barrier, these coatings prevent staining, fading, and mould build-up while keeping fabrics cleaner for longer.

Applying a fabric coating?

1. Ensure the top is dry: After cleaning, allow the fabric to air dry completely
2. Apply the coating: Follow the product's specific instructions, but generally, you'll apply the fabric protector evenly over the dry, clean top
3. Allow it to dry: Let the coating dry completely before exposing the soft top to rain or putting it away

Important Reminders:

• Avoid pressure washers: Do not use high-pressure washers, as they can damage the fabric's seams and fibres
• Use specific products: Only use cleaning products and coatings specifically designed for fabric soft tops to prevent damage
• Work in the shade: Apply products in a shaded area, not in direct sunlight

Understand " Water Beading":

While a good coating will cause water to bead up and roll off, this may not always be visible after prolonged rain or heavy wetting, but the top should still prevent water from passing through
