General Information On Cleaning The Convertible Top

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Porsche Boxster, 2015 Porsche Boxster, 2014 Porsche Boxster, and 2013 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Do not wash the convertible top every time the car is washed. It is normally sufficient to wash or rinse the convertible top with clean water. In the event of heavy soiling, moisten the convertible top with lukewarm water and Porsche Wash-Shampoo & convertible top cleaner and rub gently with a sponge or soft brush. Then rinse off the convertible top with clean water until no traces of the Porsche Wash-Shampoo & convertible top cleaner remain.
Remove bird droppings immediately, because the acids they contain will cause the rubber material to swell and will make the convertible top leak.
Only open the convertible top when it is completely dry, because otherwise damp stains and abrasions may occur which cannot be removed afterwards.
In the event of light soiling and always before washing, brush the convertible top with a soft brush or with a strip of convertible top covering (cut out of an old convertible top covering) in the direction of the fabric lines of the convertible top material.
