A convertible tops should be kept as clean as possible, especially during the warm months when it will be raised and lowered frequently. Deposits from birds should always be removed immediately, as they are highly acidic, and they can damage the top. Rinsing the top with water on a regular basis or whenever the car is washed is often enough to keep the top in goodcondition, but at least twice a year, the top should be washed with a cleaning product designed for convertible tops. Washing should be done in the shade, starting with a rinse and then an application of the cleaner. A soft brush or sponge can be used to gently scrub the top before rinsing it clean.
