Cleaned my wife's soft top with Autoglym but I don't think it has ever been cleaned so I'm going to have to do it again at the end of the season as it still has some stains on it :headbang:

Done this many times , recently with a very shabby & algae covered roof
Its a relatively simple process
1)Agitate the roof with a handbrush
2)Hoover roof
3)snowfoam + jetwash
4)hand scrub with a kitchen fleece type sponge using a solution of Bold (or similar ) & in extreme cases add Swarfega to it ( as in the green hand cleaner)
5) apply a solution of 50-50 black liquid shoe dye & either Auto Finesse or Autoglym roof sealer

if extremely bad just repeat some or all of the above , this is mine after just one clean + colour & it was pretty bad
