Cleaning and prote c tion -
----------------
•
• To avoid damaging your vehicle, always make sure that there is
enough d istance between the sprayer and sof t materials like rubber
hoses, plastic parts and sound -deadening materials . Never aim the
sprayer at the same point for a relatively long period of t ime. This
also applies to cleaning headlights and painted bumpers.
Remember : the closer the nozzle is to the surface of the material,
the greater the stress on the material. •
Power top care
The power top requires special care.
Keeping your top look ing great and making certain that it lasts a
long time depend to a great extent on proper use and care. Remove
bird droppings as soon as possib le, since the corrosive chemicals in
them wi ll cause the rubber impregnation in your top to swell and
possibly allow the fabric t o leak.
With normal soiling, all you need to do is clear the top with a soft
brush and clear water. Always brush in t he direction of the fabric
from front to rear.
If the top is very dirty and has spotted areas clean it with a brush
using a convert ible top cleaner . Always brush in the direction of the
fabric from front to rear. Rinse with plenty of clear water, and allow
t he top to air-dry .
Chamois are not suitab le for drying the top.
Never use gasoline, spot remover, benzene, paint thinner or
solve nts to remove spots . We recommend that you only use
cleaners especia lly formulated for use on convertib le tops , and that
you fol low the produce use d irections carefully. Authorized Audi
dea ls can provide detailed information.
