Angelwax Excelsior Soft-Top Cleaner
Angelwax’s Excelsior Soft-Top Cleaner offers great value for money and smells good. We found it to be an effective cleaner, albeit one that required a little more effort than our top three choices in this test.
There was no faulting the end result, though, while its ultra-violet-protecting qualities should help to preserve the colour of your convertible’s roof from fading as a result of sunshine, as well. We did find it quite greasy, though. It’s an effective option if you’re on a budget, however, and is simple to use.

Autoglym Convertible Soft Top Clean and Protect
- Rating: 4.0 stars
- Price: around £35.99

Like all Autoglym products we’ve experienced, the Soft Top Cleaner and Soft Top Protector in this pack (which also includes an applicator and a sponge) are effective, feel like they’re of a very high quality, and smell extremely fresh. But you do need to pre-mix both products, and dampen the roof first. The end result is great, but it takes a while, is more labour-intensive than rivals and, at £35.99, not cheap.

Fabsil Universal Cleaner and Protectant
- Rating: 3.5 stars
- Price: around £16.57
- Contact: fabsil.com
Fabsil Universal Cleaner is aimed at all outdoor canvas products, from tents and marquees to hot air balloons and boat sails, so when used on a car roof, a little goes a long way. As such, Fabsil is one of the best-value options on test here and you’ll get several years’ worth of cleans from one pack. It smells waxy and not especially pleasant, but it does a decent job of cleaning and protecting – although mixing it with five litres of water before each clean is a bit of a faff.
