Reinigung und Pflege des Roadster-Verdecks:

Aussehen und Lebensdaur de Verdecks ...

Park car in shade.

DO NOT USE AUTO CAR WASH

Do not fold and store top when wet

Do not leave folded away for long periods

Remove bird s**t straight away

Before washing remove surface dirt by brushing with the nap with a dry natural hair brush

If top is not very dirty just use plain water

If you have to remove stubborn stains, use mild (alkali-frei) detergent applied with with a sponge or soft brush applied in the direction of weave. (concentration 1 dessert spoon mild detergent to 1 litre water)

rinse with jet of clean water until all soap has been removed.

Do not wash top every time the car is cleaned

never use solvent based cleaners. (thinners, gasoline, toluene, etc)

Rear window (plastic on the Z1). Clean only with soft antistatic cloth and diluted window cleaning agent, diluted methylated spirit, or alkaline washing solutions.

Make sure that such cleaning agents do not come in contact with soft soap. (Best we avoid that too!)

It goes on, but I guess you get the picture. My '89 soft top has been well cared for by the previous owner and the top is tight, dry and draught free up to as fast as the car will go.
