Convertible car care

They’re beautiful to look at, synonymous with summer nights in Hollywood films, and remain popular vehicles on UK roads today. But if you drive a convertible, how do you ensure you keep it in five-star shape all year round? Autoparts’ specialist selection of products will help you give your convertible car the VIP treatment.

Keep the soft top clean

Keep bird lime, moss and grime – essentially whatever the convertible-driving seasons can thrown at your car – at bay, with Car Gods’ Soft Top Cleaner.

Its specially-formulated, dual-action fabric convertible roof cleaner effortlessly removes bird lime, dirt, grime and moss, whilst cleaning and revitalising the appearance of the hood. Its deep-penetrating formula gets rid of surface dirt and other corrosives without damaging the hood.

After the cleaning’s done, enjoy its floral scented fragrance, with the peace of mind of a pH-neutral formula that’s kind to your vehicle’s bare surfaces.

Clean up with this soft top solution

 

And for cleaning the cabin...

Kärcher's classic wet and dry vacuum cleaner will do an amazing job of keeping interior vehicle surfaces tidy. Its 1000-watt motor delivers super-strong suction power and is suitable for picking up dry debris like dust and glass but also liquid spills, without even the need to change filter.

It features:

  • A 12-litre plastic container
  • A 1.9m suction hose with two suction tubes
  • A cartridge filter and a wet-to-dry floor tool

Be kind to your car  

Triplewax Triple Pack Microfibre Cloths is a modest but magnificent cleaning tool, working carefully on the car surfaces you care about while being ruthless with the unwanted stains on top of them.

It works well with cleaning products or when used dry, for absorbing liquid stains, and for restoring shine to tired exterior and interior bodywork.

A gentle cloth such as this is especially important if your soft top is made of a fragile fabric layer. 

It’s car cleaning, but gentler. 

Dehumidify your convertible

Condensation and generally unwanted moisture in a convertible cabin can be a real problem after a wetter spell of weather, so it’s important to have a dehumidifier that’s up to the task of drying it out in time to take it for the first spin of the Spring – or on that crisp, dry winter’s day after a stormy spell.

The Pingi PDA300P6UK car dehumidifier does just that. Thus super-absorbent pack will eliminate moisture and can be recharged in the microwave. It even has a colour indicator on the bag that tells you when it needs recharged again, making it easier for you to get the most of out of the product.
