Hello gang. I am new to a cloth top convertible (I did have the vinyle top on my 2006) in black on my soon-to-take-possession 2014 GT convertible.

It was fine to take the vinyle top through the local no touch automatic car wash but all that wax and detergeant doesn't seem like a good idea for a black cloth top.

1) should I rule out auto car wash all together ?
2) will even the high pressure hose from the hand wash bays hurt the material of the cloth top ?
3) Is a special low-detergent cleaner necessary for the top ?

Thanks for any advice you cars can give.

 

Welcome. Here's a good video on cloth convertible top care.
