Maintenance and Care

Appearance Care



  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.
