So, my roof is down a lot.. and now there's a toll to pay for that luxury.
Before cleaning - The inside
Tourbillon graciously sent me some Turtle wax roof cleaner. What a great bloke.
I simply sprayed it on and whipped it up into a foam, left it a minute then wiped it off.
After cleaning - Inside
Before cleaning - The outside
Cleaning - The outside
Rinse thoroughly
Applying the roof conditioner
The conditioner settling, but still drying. Although, it's clearly done a good job in revitalising the roof material.
After drying.
All done. Now where's that rain they promised?
It didn't rain. But it did freeze.

Get the hose pipe out and thoroughly soak the softop.
Next get the sponge and cleaner from the container.
I sprayed a area of the roof then started to work in the cleaner as you can see it foams up and the amount of dirt to come out is quite frightening
then move to the next part of the roof and do the same
ensure you get into all the little gaps to remove the green mould etc
once you have done the whole roof use the hosepipe to wash off the cleaner.
Now as my roof was filthy dirty. So I cleaned the roof again with the detergent.
this picture does not show very well the amount of dirt that came out the second time
Thoroughly rinse the roof off with clean water
you can now put on the protector, you dont need to wait for the roof to dry out.
cover all paint and glass, I used a wet towel to cover the exposed areas.
Spray the roof liberally i used over 1/2 of the bottle. As it dries out the roof will start to shine white for a short time and as it drys out completely it turns to the correct colour
like this -
Thats it! One nice clean soft top.
The more time you take to do the roof the better the result
