The gf has bought a new shape MR2 and was just wondering about cleaning the soft top as it is looking a bit grubby.
Anyone reccomend any products or methods to use?

Is it your own bat phone? Or is it his?
I used Turtle wax something or another shampoo thingy. I used a clothes brush to remove any shit off it first though.

I usually hoover mine and then there is a two part kit you can from halfords think its AG. one bottle is a cleaner the other protects it and repels water.
Hood came up very nice after and repelled water very well when it rained the other day.

Get the two bottle hood cleaner set.
One removes the dirt, the other waterproofs it a bit.
Need a pressure washer or a good hose though, when I did mine I needed loads of the cleaner stuff and it took a while to rinse it.

Autoglym kit.
Hoover it first or remove lint / pet hair with masking tape.
Spray cleaner on, agitate with supplied sponge, rinse off with open hose - not pressure washer as it will put visible marks in the fabric
Spray protectant on, leave to dry.
