    Autoglym cleaner and protector pack is very good. Did mine every six months. Water beads off easily and only need to use damp cloth and hoover after.

    Renovo 2 stage process on our Z4. Absolutely brilliant, really beads the water and lasts for ages

    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    I cleaned my dads audi soft top with G101 and protected by 303 fabric guard for a total waterproof finish

    As the car is new it shouldn't need a specific fabric roof cleaner yet. I have used the Meguiars fabric roof sealer. Comes in an aerosol. Easy to apply and not expensive at about £12. Water beads nicely afterwards.

    If the car is parked under trees etc then the roof can become greenish and mouldy. Then you would need a strong cleaner for it.

    The Renovo stuff you paint on with a brush, and you can really see it - the roof noticeably darkens in colour
