Hi Faisal...I clean my soft top with "Autoglym Cabriolet Fabric Hood Cleaning Kit"
The kit is complete with fabric hood cleaner, fabric hood protector and a application sponge.

This is an excellent product, there is sufficient product in each kit to give 2 very generous applications.
I clean and apply to my hood every 6 months

The kit is readily available in the UK and here in Singapore, I do not know if it is available elsewhere

Read you owners manual...don't use soap/cleaners except once in a while. A good stream of water is best. Approx. twice a year you should use a cleaner followed by a protectant.

Please correct me, for the AG cabriolet Fabric Hood cleaning kit.

1. Spray fabric roof with water.
2. Spray Fabric Hood Cleaner with the sponge provided to remove dirt.
3. Spray fabric roof with water to rinse away the hood cleaner chemical.
4. Spray Fabric Hood Protector, is the hood to be dry before spraying the hood protector or is it can be applied immediately after no: 3.
