Best cleaner for high top ??
What would you recommend for cleaning the fibreglass High Top ? Mine has lots of ground in dirt that the jet wash doesnt budge .

Re: Best cleaner for high top ??
Luckily most of the dirt came off mine with my jet wash, but was looking on getting some of this to give it an extra clean/protection:

Also some other products available:

Thanks for the links... looks like good stuff, I was hoping someone would say the 99p Aldi all purpose cleaner or similar is what they use

I use the 99p Aldi all purpose cleaner on my roof.
. . . . . but it doesn't get the roof very clean.

I had a west I 20years ago I put a small amount of bleech in my auto wash it cleaned it but you have to polish it to protect it (a small amount) and a good scrubbing brush
just the 1/2

Re: Best cleaner for high top ??
When you have it clean protect it with some good polish.
Something like Autoglym SRP (2 applications) and Autoglym EGP (2 applications) and then a high quality wax ( Autoglym HD wax).

Re: Best cleaner for high top ??
I washed my hi top a few weeks back and it looks really dull - as if there is some soap left on it. Should I try and get this off before I use a polish?

Hi,
When mine gets really grubby I use Vim. No it does not scratch it and then use good quality polish ie Mer.
