Tips on Keeping Your Jeep Soft Top Clean and Fresh

Consider these tips to keep your Jeep soft top in great condition for many years to come:

• Clean it often: This goes for the rest of your Jeep, too. Cleaning your soft top regularly can prevent premature damage from dirt and debris.

• Use a special protectant: While cleaning your soft top regularly is essential for keeping it in good shape, you should also use a special fabric protector to keep it safe from the sun's UV rays.

• Never use automatic car washes: Handwashing is the only safe way to clean your soft top. Automatic car washes use too much pressure and may harm it.

• Don't leave it down when you don't need to: Always remember to fold it back up when you reach your destination. Besides exposing your Jeep's interior to sudden weather changes, keeping it folded for long periods of time creates creases that will deepen over time, eventually leading to cracks.
