I would assume ironx would melt fabric (it probably won't but to be safe, keep it the fek away!!) .. it's nasty stuff.

Im sure a soft top would have very little iron or tar contaminants. as said an all purpose cleaner, i used GT W2, and a stiff brush will suffice in cleaning.
have a look at the range available on i4detailing

Keep both away from soft tops - absolutely not neccessary. A gentle APC solution sprayed on and agitated with a nail brush or similar should be all you need. A wet vac is also handy as this helps remove the grime and also aids drying

Nothing to add to the above, apart from perhaps suggesting looking at protecting it afterwards to minimise the number of times you need to clean it in your ownership...
yeah i wasnt goign to use it ont he softtop, it was just encase some over spills or that, you know if snow foam if ok with softtops? i have auto finesse avalanch, also products liek waxs, polishes or selants? what if a bit drops on the soft top? would it a case of f**k or would it be easy to clean off?Keep both away from soft tops - absolutely not neccessary.

its not a customer its a friend as such. but sorry didnt know that i would be slatted for never detailing a soft top before? it was a simple question. i thought everyone had a first at things.
and for everyone thinkign im cleaning it, im not even touching the soft top as there isnt any need, he only wants the bodywork protected

Not slating you mate simply saying you shouldn't be doing a 'customers' car if you don't know whats what.
When you said customer it immediately made me think they would be paying ££ for a service. Most people wont be satisfied they have got value for money unless it is perfect hence it isn't a good idea to do things your inexperienced on.

ok maybe i just got a little defensive, my bad!
noo haha they arent paying a penny, im doing it just to the enjoyment of it and also for the pictures to get a good portfolio together, and because its a very high end car i was abit nervous to disappoint!
yeah i know what you mean, but guessed that tardis and ironx would be a no go with soft tops, as i work with them alot and seen what crazy s**t they do! just was unsure hat chemicals autofinesse's snowfoam has in it
did anyone know about the chemicals in snow foam affecting soft tops then?
