It didn't take that long for my dealer to get, but they recommended an alternative, when they realized what it was!

If you look at the advice on the Autoglym's Fabric Roof box it advises the use of their Bumper Care on a Vinyl Roof.

After applying the bumper care, give it a few days for the smell to vent off, it could get a bit whiffy. I put the car in the garage immediately after applying it, the smell was very strong.
Damn good stuff though.........don't forget, small sponge

) anorak on and watched the rain run rivers off the roof - impressive. I'm glad I've got it done, but it really does smell a bit at the moment

- Wheels. (Very quick - Autoglym Body Shampoo, small sponge, use your finger quick run round and you have one clean wheel.)
- Body. I'm paranoid about cleaning this sponge to keep the grit off.
- Glass. I have used the body sponge in the past, but I get better results with less smears using a seperate sponge. Don't ask be why - my only guess is the difference between wax on the body and Rain-Ex on the windows.
- Roof. I haven't needed to clean this much, but I've a seperate sponge for it. I used about a 2" section of this for the bumper care.
Now all I need is 4 bobble hats to signify what I'm cleaning...
