Soft hood - Washing
 
Gents,

What would you do for soft hood washing, please? I am not talking about treatment, reproofing... Just the regular "everyday" care when washing the car...

For the body of the car I usually use snow foam pre-washing, then car shampoo but tend not to wash the soft hood and just give it cleaning/reproofing every few months. However, a new 911 arrived this week and I am not sure what is the best way to keep the hood in a good condition.

Cheers

I've driven & owned Porsche's for 46 years. What the heck is a soft hood?

I'm guessing the OP is in the UK. Must be a cabriolet. Soft hood is British for soft top.

If he had said "soft bonnet", it would have been even more confusing. :)

That's why I think anyone posting should be required to put where they are from. Are they ashamed of where they live?

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, I'm in the UK. Didn't realise my location is not shown. Will sort this out...

Cheers

Oh, Glasgow. Sorry for labeling you British instead of Scottish. :)

I don't have a soft top, but Car Care Specialties has a lot of good info:

They used to be (and maybe still are) owned by Larry Reynolds, a Porsche guy.
