Care and Maintenance of your Bestop Product

Your Bestop product is made of the ﬁnest materials available. To keep it looking new and for the maximum possible wear, it will need periodic cleaning and

maintenance.

Washing: The fabric should be washed often using soap, warm water and a soft bristle brush. Rinse with clear water to remove all traces of soap or use Bestop-

recommended Bestop Cleaner and Bestop Protectant. Bestop Cleaner and Bestop Protectant are specially formulated to provide a total cleaning and protection

system. Bestop Cleaner will not harm vehicle ﬁnish, is biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Bestop Protectant protects against UV-fading, cracking and

hardening.

iron on patches. Iron the patches to the Inside of the top, carefully following the Bondex® instructions.

Snaps: Keep snaps cleaned and lubricated to help prevent snaps from sticking to the studs. If a snap does become stuck to a stud, use a screwdriver and
