NightMare Silverado Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 we used waterless car wash on my brothers mustang top and then put VRT on it and it looked 100% better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VertimgoC502 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 I have a light color and need to "scrub" a few marks. Any idea of the type of brush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@Adams Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I would use APC and a soft brush! Try diluted first!

NightMare Silverado Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 We used the red applicator pad for cleaning as well as applying the vrt. This mustang had never had a 'real" detail in 50,000 miles it was a grey top before I got to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred vette Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Vrt or WW won't work on our cloth tops. Try the apc or carpet and upholstery cleaner with a soft bristled brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VertimgoC502 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Thanks for the input. I will begin building another order for Adam's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Vrt or WW won't work on our cloth tops. Try the apc or carpet and upholstery cleaner with a soft bristled brush. I agree but cut the APC at least 50/50 for starters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_pappy Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Good advice on using APC and a upholstery brush, start at 50%, diluted with distilled water. If that isn't getting it out bump up the strength to 100% strength APC. You can also use the Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner. I've got an oak colored top on my Corvette also, never got all the spots out, but much better. My top was really neglected when I got it though. Concentrate on the spots, but do the entire top. You will also want to go back and wax the body afterwards. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
