CAUTION
Some leather treatment products can
ruin the convertible top's gloss. Be
careful of the one you choose.
Test on an inconspicuous, small
corner of the convertible top if you
are not sure.
Do not wipe the convertible top
using alcohol, chlorine bleach, or
organic solvents such as thinner,
benzene, or petrol. Otherwise, they
may cause discolouration or stains.
Do not get any car wax on the
convertible top.
If you do, remove it with a good
leather cleaner or mild detergent
(about 5% solution).
Too much treatment on the
convertible top can be as
damaging as too little. Follow the
manufacturer's directions.
Do not overdo it!
Let the convertible top dry
completely before lowering after
applying treatment or dressing.
