🇬🇧Convertible Roof Clean And Protect, "Auto Glym" Full Job, Cleaning & Sealing a Soft Top

[@hkvp9tactical418]

I was in the fire restoration business for 27 years cleaning furniture, carpet, and artwork etc. A super thorough VACUUMING is the step everyone misses and is the real key to a good outcome. Ya really need to vacuum way longer than you think is necessary.

Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Nice video mate well done

Watching this to give me the courage to tackle my daughters mini roof- she isn’t well (multiple sclerosis) and has let it get loads of algae on it. I just hope I can get it halfdecent.

[@aaanton11]

You will with this product, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

My son is picking up an audi convertible on saturday & i,ve told him to buy the autoglym stuff,i,ve told him to watch this,cheers mate,brilliant video. 👌👌

[@aaanton11]

Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@keedywebber3840]

Great Video. I use a soft brush to first agitate the dirt/dust out of the fibres, I then use a vacuum to remove the majority of the dirt & then go over the roof with a lint roller to pick up anything missed. It's suprising the amount of dust the lint rollers pick up!

[@aaanton11]

That's a great idea! Thanks Keedy for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@robtaylor9547]

Great video mate, i had a leaking roof, old merc, cheap, but spent loads on it, new gear oil everything, car runs great, Merc wanted 1000 pounds to sort the leaks out, tried this product, we went away for weekend, car in car park opposite the pub we stayed at in Brighton, during the night, thunder storms galore, we got up and thought...ho nooooo, wipe the car out, not a leak in sight, fantastic product, well worth the money

[@aaanton11]

Good stuff, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@abdullahali5039]

Halo I watched the video by chance with the long search, and I liked your way of talking, washing, and the wonderful useful explanation, and if there are addresses for cleaning materials for cleaning and polishing And if there is a protective material such as the linoleum material that is on the list, I mean the list of the Beetle, if you allow, write to me where it is sold, if it is in the Amazon or something else, so that I can buy it Thank you and have a good and happy day Abdullah from the State of Kuwait

hello brother I have a Volkswagen Beetle Convertible 2014 Examination type Black tarpaulin, and with washing and time, some of the linoleum material was gone, and the examination became stained. It was not cleaned with washing, whether with water or soap. I asked and wrote to many modern car wash places. Nobody knows. Ordinary washing, and there are no special materials for the canvas of the cars, or the linoleum for the cars, knowing that the texture of the car is of the excellent, strong type, and it is not considered a fabric. I do not know the type of strong fabric Dear, do you have an idea for this place? Thank you Greetings: Abdullah from the State of Kuwait

[@aaanton11]

This is the product you should use it works well, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@Jackster]

Thanks for the review! I've found that the beading on this product is a little weak at the beginning. It's as if it takes a few days sitting in the sun for it to fully cure. After that, though, the water beads up like crazy!

[@aaanton11]

I am really pleased with the results, Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠.

[@guitarlover302]

Use Auto Glynn twice a year on my Saab Aero convertible - by far easiest cleaner and proofer on market - used Renovo once ( roof dye I know ) goes everywhere ! did a good job 👍 keep it nice with autoglymn - 16 years old and still looks mint 👌 best wax by far is Colindale insulator wax absolutely superb finish - can use on wheels as well- correction Collinite insulator wax

[@aaanton11]

Did you not need to sponge in the protector or do you just ket it sit?

So you drop a sponge onto a floor full of dirt and stones and continue to wash the car with it? Lol. Good roof video. I have the same kit to use on my Alfa

I knew the dropping the sponge would cause a few comments😂, The roof cleaner is still beading nicely, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Just done this with my BMW and it looks great! Have you done a video to get marks of the white paint work yet? I've got loads of little speckles on the door I can't get off. Any idea what to do? :)

[@aaanton11]

Not yet, but its on the way soon, you need some fallout remover link isamzn.to/2XtP8hE you can get smaller bottles but this is by far the best value, Thanks Jess for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@davidpotts1778]

Jess you should get autoglym tar remover. The chances are if its little speckles on your door are tar and contaminants that blows up from the road. Once you have done this use a clay bar and it will fix it. Look up both these products on youtube and you can see what I mean. Hope this helps

I dont think we used anything so seal the roof I think I washed it lightly with wash wax just did it lightly

[@LiamSoutherton1]

Good video bud, shame about the incorrect washing technique though and all them swirls created lol treat yourself to a proper wash mitt and stop dropping the sponge on the floor then back in the bucket and on the body of the car, not going to lie this video did make me cringe lol

Yes I do have butter fingers 😂hope you enjoyed the cringing, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@Veronj1966]

Nooooo don’t use the jet wash at all

[@h9rae]

Just watched a previous video and it says Do not use a Power hose on your roof as it will ruin it and don't take it to a hand car wash either Whose correct ?????

[@aaanton11]

If you get close it will mark the roof, so it is all about being careful, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@geniusme2010]

Never use a jetwash on a canvas roof, always take the exstension of the hose then use it if that makes sense

[@aaanton11]

Its fine as long as you don't get too close, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@Samuelfish2k]

Nice job of cleaning the top, but that beading was anything but impressive.

[@aaanton11]

Fussy 😭 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@davidbarnett8002]

Just a tip wash your car leave wet and leave shampoo on then clean roof then rinse the roof cleaner does paintwork no favours the car shampoo will not allow the cleaner to get into the paint

My heart nearly stopped 🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒 ITS THE OCD IN ME...... Fallout remover is what you need to get the particles etc off of your paintwork..... Av a good week fella. Stay safe. Alan L200

[@aaanton11]

The brush is nice and soft 😂 too soft that's why bits get stuck in the cab roof, a sponge does do a better job, did you notice I did rotate the sponge before carrying on after dropping it😂, Fallout remover, I will look into it, Thanks Alan for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Sadly, this is a bad example of washing a nice car. A household sponge, one bucket containing crap shampoo, no grit guards, using the sponge to do bodywork and then the alloys. Moving the sponge down to the sills and then back up the paintwork... Won’t even mention dropping the sponge !! 🥴 The car will need to be taken to a detailer to repair the damage he has inflicted on the paint. 🥴🥴 There are better, more informative videos out there folks. Sorry mate.

[@aaanton11]

😂😂 love the comments, this is a real world wash, you are correct in all you say, although my paint work is mint, its tougher than you give it credit, I knew dropping the sponge would cause a storm, that's why I didn't edit it out, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
