Convertible & Rag Top Detailing

We specialize in rag tops and convertibles. Soft tops need a different approach than paint: the wrong brush or chemical can fade the fabric, stain the stitching or cloud the rear window. We clean and care for your top the right way, at your home or office anywhere in the Bay Area.

Why it’s different

Soft Tops Need Special Care

A fabric or vinyl top collects dust, pollen, bird droppings and tree sap like any car, but it can’t be scrubbed and polished like paint. Bay Area fog and damp mornings add another problem: moisture that sits in the fabric can lead to mildew and a musty smell inside the car.

Automatic car washes are hard on soft tops. Spinning brushes and harsh soaps wear the fabric and seams, and high-pressure jets can push water past the seals. A careful hand detail keeps the top looking right and lasting longer.

What we take care of

• Gentle hand cleaning of fabric (rag) and vinyl tops
• Careful work around seams, stitching and seals
• Rear window care, glass or plastic
• Full exterior detail for the body and wheels
• Interior detail, including the areas soft tops let in dust and moisture
• Mold and mildew treatment if moisture has gotten inside

Questions

Convertible Detailing FAQs

Can I take my convertible through a regular car wash?

It’s best not to. Brushes and strong soaps wear soft-top fabric and seams, and high-pressure water can get past the seals. A hand detail is much safer for the top.

Do you work on fabric and vinyl tops?

Yes. We specialize in rag tops and convertibles and adjust the method to the material of your top.

My convertible smells musty inside. Can you help?

Yes. A musty smell often means moisture got inside. Our mold and mildew remediation removes the cause, not just the smell.

How much does it cost?

The price varies, since each situation is unique. You’ll know the full price before we start.

Do you come to me?

Yes. We’re fully mobile and serve the whole Bay Area, including San Francisco, at your home or office.
