A convertible roof lives outdoors, so it collects pollen, bird droppings, tree sap and road film all season.
A convertible roof lives outdoors, so it collects pollen, bird droppings, tree sap and road film all season. Cloth tops stain and grow mildew if they stay damp, while vinyl tops dull and stiffen. Auto Royale cleans soft tops at your home or garage in Richmond Hill, using brushes and cleaners made for the material, not household soap.
We first identify the top: canvas-style cloth, vinyl, or a mix. Cloth is wet down gently, treated with a fabric cleaner and brushed in the direction of the weave. Vinyl gets a different cleaner and a softer brush. Each is rinsed carefully and dried fully, because trapping moisture in the folds leads to musty smells and mildew.
Once the top is clean and dry, we apply a fabric or vinyl protectant that helps repel water and UV. The rear window, seams and rubber seals get attention too, since plastic windows scratch easily and seals dry out. Owners in places like Crosby often book us in spring before the top comes down for the first time.
We do not want to damage stitching or waterproofing, so we avoid pressure washers and harsh solvents. Heavy staining, old mildew or a worn-out top may only improve, and we will say so. We can also clean the cabin, wash the paint and treat leather in the same visit, so the whole car is ready for open-air driving.

Richmond Hill is mostly detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages, with townhouse complexes and condo towers clustered along Yonge Street and Highway 7, so we usually set up in a driveway and also work in underground garages.
Winter salt and slush from Yonge Street, Highway 7 and the 404 build up on lower panels, and cold snaps freeze grime onto the paint. Spring pollen from mature trees and dust from ongoing development coat cars quickly.
Richmond Hill streets are busy at rush hour, and a drive to a shop on the 404 or Yonge Street takes time. A mobile detailer works at your driveway, garage or office and fits around the commute.
We regularly work in Crosby, Elgin Mills and Rural Richmond Hill, and every other part of Richmond Hill.
