Need help ASAP: Can i use Folex on convertible top?

[Skyhawk]

I am trying to detail my car before i head down to Jax, and the only thing i am out of now is top cleaner, and i dont have time to go get any. I do have some Folex though, would it be safe to use this on the top? Im going to be reapplying RaggTopp Protectant afterwards, if that helps. I need to know ASAP...

I don`t see why not. Folex doesn`t contain bleach or any other harsh chemicals. If it`s a black top I wouldn`t worry about it. If it`s a lighter color top I might want to test a very small area in an inconspicuous place.



I`ve used folex on all types of materials and never once have I had a problem, stain, or remaining residue. Hopefully someone will reply if it`s unsafe.



Don`t take my post as the end-all solution, but I think it`s safe.

Folex is a neutral surfactant that does not contain any enzyme cleaning agents. According to their website (Folex Fact Sheet (http://www.folexcompany.com/folex_facts.html)) , it is safe on any colorfast/color stable surfaces that can be cleaned with water.



I doubt you would have any ill effects from using Folex on your convertible top. But, why not just use a regular old car wash solution instead? Are you trying to remove specific stains, or are you just cleaning the top?

The Folex Web site (along with the bottle) does not mention anything about enzymes. But I thought for sure I read that Folex contained enzymes. Odd.
