Cleaning a white vinyl top.

[Darter6]

Need a few suggestions for a good way to clean white vinyl top. Any tips will be appreciated.

Whitewall tire cleaner. A friend used Comet cleanser as well. I wouldn't use either if the top was old and crispy.

Scrubbing bubbles for Showers. Spray on, let foam and work the grain with an upholstery brush. Wipe clean.

Plus it kills all the germs!

Simple green first, fairly mild. If not strong enough use Castrol Super Clean. This stuff is strong, it will damage cheap paint and un coated aluminum.

Spray on a 2 foot square area at a time. Let sit one minute and scrub with a brush then rinse off.
Wash whole top and the paint with soapy water afterward.

Don't let it sit longer than one minute.
Don't let it dry.
Keep paint wet so it won't stain it.
Don't answer phone or go in the house until done.

The drill brush kits like this work really well.
Just plug it into an impact.

Lysol would do it

I will note that from 1990 to 2019 I had used every cleaner known to man on my Superbirds original Black top. Would look good for a bit and go right back to looking Gray. Prior to the Aero Reunion in October of 2019 I used Scrubbing Bubbles... it stayed BLACK. It is still Black even after the body shop dust and aftermath, and all I did after that fiasco was wipe it off with a wet towel... pretty good for a 56 year old top

2019..
