Mouldy bits

Big Chris · 9 Mar 2010 at 12:52

My Mum drives a Renault Megane Cabriolet, V reg if I remember correctly, and it's in a bit of a state.

Instead of getting her the usual flowers for Mothers Day I said I'd go round this weekend and give it the once over.

The soft-top roof is in a bit of a state though, lots of green moss/mould showing. What would you guys recommend to clean this? Can I just scrub it off? I'm assuming jetwashing a canvas roof is a fairly silly idea? I don't want to spend loads on special potions etc but I can spare a bit of loot for some roof cleaner.

Are they any other no-no's I need to know about with canvas roofs before I get going on it and wreck it?

Cheers

Just been reading an Auto Express roof cleaner test and they recommend the Autoglym kit which is only £20. I guess this can be picked up from Halfords so I'll give that a bash.

I'd still be open to suggestions regarding this question though if anyone has any experience?

So I can jetwash the roof then...?

It's one of these beauties just for clarification:

Yeah I'm gonna get the Autoglym kit which should do the job. Just wanted to know if jetwashing it was a bad idea. Wicksta seems to have done it on his Z4, just wondering if it'll kill the Megane's roof.
