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 Toronto, 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 Baby Point 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.

Old Toronto is a mix of downtown condo towers with underground garages, semi-detached and row houses with no driveway at all, and leafy streets in areas like Leaside and the Annex where cars sit on permit street parking, so we plan around a garage level, a laneway or a curb spot rather than assuming a driveway.
Heavy road salt and slush from November through March leave white film on lower panels, wheel wells and carpet mats, especially on cars parked outside on the street. Spring brings pollen and tree sap, and the lake air and downtown construction dust settle on paint all year.
Driving a car across downtown to a shop means congestion on the Gardiner or DVP, expensive parking and a long wait without your vehicle. A mobile detailer works at your condo garage, office lot or curb, so the car stays where you live and work.
We regularly work in Baby Point, Danforth Village and Taylor-Massey, and every other part of Toronto.
