Advice Cleaning products for old canopy

Post by Jaya »

What is the best products for cleaning and re proofing a canopy please ? I've seen conflicting advice online about pressure washing and scrubing brushes?
We actually bought it second hand a couple of years ago however when we tried to fit it the canopy looked too short at the back so we put it in the loft with plans to sell it. Today however the inspector that issued our boat safety certificate informed us that we hadn't adjusted the frame properly and that the canopy would actually fit .. So now we need to scrub it up ect.. All advice welcome :)

what about an Autoglym soft top cleaning and proofing kit

I used a scrubbing brush and jetwash on mine but then used a camping reproofer afterwards when it had dried

We used the Starbrite cannopy cleaner available in most chandlers. Just used a blue cloth to apply and rinsed of with a cloth containing clean water. Got to say it was superb and didn't require scrubbing
