A convertible or fabric roof is not only a functional element but also a key factor in the vehicle's appearance. To preserve the longevity and aesthetic of the roof, regular cleaning and sealing are essential. In this article, we show you how to clean and protect your roof with SWISSVAX's high-quality products.
Why is Convertible Roof Maintenance Important?
Convertible roofs are constantly exposed to the elements – whether it’s UV radiation, rain, dirt, or dust. Without proper care, these elements can damage the material, leading to discoloration, leaks, and premature wear. By thoroughly cleaning and applying a long-lasting sealant, you ensure your roof looks like new even after years of use.
Step 1: Cleaning the Convertible Roof
A thorough cleaning is the first step to optimal roof maintenance. With SWISSVAX Fabric Top Cleaner, you can easily remove dirt, dust, and other deposits without harming the material.
How to Use the Fabric Top Cleaner:
- Moisten the roof lightly with water to loosen any large dirt particles.
- Generously apply Fabric Top Cleaner and work it into the material with a soft brush.
- Rinse the roof thoroughly with clean water to remove all cleaning residues.
- Allow the roof to dry completely before proceeding with the sealing.
Step 2: Sealing the Roof
After cleaning, applying a sealant protects the material from moisture, UV rays, and dirt. The SWISSVAX Lotos Protectant products ensure long-lasting impregnation and a water-repellent effect.
How to Use Lotos Protectant:
- Ensure the roof is completely dry.
- Apply the Lotos Protectant Long-Term Impregnation evenly to the roof.
- Work the product into the material using a clean microfiber cloth or sponge.
- Allow the roof to dry for several hours for the protective layer to form completely.
For especially long-lasting protection, we recommend the SWISSVAX Lotos Protectant Kit, which is specifically designed for fabric roofs.

Important Tips for Convertible Roof Care
- Use separate cloths for the roof and the bodywork to avoid scratches caused by dirt particles.
- Clean the roof regularly, especially after long drives or rain.
- Apply the sealant – depending on the vehicle's usage – once a year to ensure long-lasting protection.
