cabriolet roofs - barney100

I have spent my hard earned on a used cabriolet and the local feathered friends will gain amusement from bombing from a great height. Is there anything out there i can get to clean it off?

Presumably its a fabric roof - one method is to let it dry then brush off with a stiff brush. Any bits left can be washed off using lots of water and some gentle brushing (no soap necessary).
If the roof is already wet, rinse it off with extra water and brush lightly.

Or you can spend £12.95 on some Renovo hood cleaner; but not tried it myself?

On my missus' MX-5 its not difficult to shift it using water only.

My son uses Renovo products, hood cleaner, renovator and a protection fluid. It won't stop the birds bombing it but it does make it easier to clean off.
