    Convertible tops

    What do you use to covertible tops?

    I currently use Amazing roll off followed by 303 on vinyl tops, but I just found out the pH of Amazing Roll off is 15. This combo works well and looks good.

    I used castrol super clean diluted with water and a nice brush. Then I use 303 protectant with a terry cloth applicator pad. Looks great and get even product distrubution

    Eric - I don`t mean to be confrontational here but I think you should double check your source of the Roll-off pH. As I understand it the pH scale ranges from 0-14. Someone might be feeding you a line of crap. :dunno

    A quick google search leads me to conclude that Roll-Off seems pretty well respected and regarded as safe - more so in boating circles than car care circles. If you`ve had success with it, I would not dump it based on a reported pH of 15. Just my opinion though.

    PH sounds a little high. I agree that 14 is the most basic you can get. Drain cleaner is 14 by the way.
    Just use a properly diluted interior/top cleaner for the convertible top.
