Can I go through the car wash with my convertible?

Do not go through the car wash with a convertible. The fabric of your convertible top is very delicate.

Why you should never go through the car wash with a convertible

There are many reasons why you should not wash your convertible in a car wash. Here are the most important:

  1. The cleaning agents in a car wash have been developed for cars. Not for the delicate convertible fabric.
  2. Stitching is sometimes weak due to UV radiation. The brushes further damage the stitching.
  3. Convertible fabric consists of several layers. They are stuck together. The brushes press hard on the convertible top, so these layers can come loose.
  4. The connection between the window and the fabric is very delicate. Brushes can damage that connection.
  5. Cleaning agents are not rinsed sufficiently from the fabric. As a result, an impregnating agent works less. The fabric will also attract grime sooner..
  6. The wax in a car wash is not suitable and not strong enough to properly protect convertible fabric.
