Convertible Cleaning/ Sealing, Best way to clean and waterproof? Options

[jess_walsh]

Just got a 1999 Celica GT Conv.

Looking for best way to clean the black canvas convert top.

Also, looking for a good product to waterproof the canvas, as I understand it, the canvas is only water resistant unless treated with proofing.

The autoparts stores out here stink, all I could find was "Blue Magic" Convertible cleaner and protectant. Judging by the looks of the bottle, this is not the product I was looking for for waterproofing.

Any suggestions?

Woah, our tops are only water resistent? I've driven through a ton of storms in mine and never had a problem. When you're washing the car if you angle the hose UP at the window joint with the canvas, water will get through

Oh, and I just thought my vert was retarded

Jess- for all I know our tops were originally only resistent and mine has been treated- but I think they were advertised as water proof.
