    OK guys - may have seen my thread on the CO2 cleaning. I had sort of parked that idea in order to run with the traditional methods so today I set out to give it a clean.

    Soaked the roof and used Chemical Guys fabric cleaner and a brush - reasonably stiff. Anyway after well over an hour of soaking, scrubbing, rinsing and repeating I gave up.

    I made some progress but not a lot as you can see from the pics. I used reasonable pressure and not sure I'd be comfortable going harder. I as going to seal the roof with Carpro C Quartz fabric sealer but not sure if I should do that now or try another method.

    Pics for ref - left side is after cleaning

    You'd be surprised how much harder you could probably go at the roof. And an occasional use of a strong cleaner shouldn't be an issue either as long as it's rinsed well afterwards. So I'd also try a string mix of an All Purpose Cleaner.

    Cheers Curran. I'll do some looking. In the US shortly so may see what's available over there in case they have some miracle stuff.
