There is no need to put any sort of conditioner on the outside of your Softopper.\u00a0 The vinyl coating on the material is designed to keep out all weather including rain, snow, and sun.\u00a0 It is also UV treated and will be protected in the harsh sunlight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY WINDOWS?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Rinse off all debris so as not to scratch the vinyl. Use a mix of a very light soap (such as Dawn dish soap l) and water spray, clean with a microfiber cloth, rinse with water, and then dry with a microfiber cloth. Applying this process regularly (before the product gets to a point where it needs to be restored) is the best preventative measure to ensure longevity and clarity. Any product containing chemicals will provide immediate cleanliness but will break down the vinyl over time.\u00a0 Never wipe the windows when they are dry.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Can I take my Softopper through a car wash? <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You can go through a car wash as long as it is touchless. We would recommend that you rinse any residual waxes or cleaning agents off of the windows after going through the car wash. Any cleaning agents containing alcohol, silicone or wax will degrade the Softopper windows over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
