I've got the same problem, I thought i'd give Autosheen a call to do a showroom valet on my car but they dont have any specialist products to clean my roof both outside and in and they dont clean engines anymore.. so why its called a showroom valet is beyond me.. :mad: a nice chap did advise me to go to a bmw dealer to get the cleaner from them I will let you know what they quote me when I get round to it. :D

^^^^^^ as they say, it's an excellent product. If it's really ingrimed, wash the first stage off with a pressure washer but be carefull not to blast the dirt deeper into the cloth.

what they said.....

Autoglym cleaner and protecting/sealant double-pack - it's well worth the money, and it does both jobs very very well.

(It's the only AG product I'd recommend).

Thats the 2 bottle kit - "Fabric Hood Cleaner 500ml-Cleans, freshens and revives appearance by removing soiling, stains and atmospheric contaminations from natural and synthetic fabrics.
Fabric Hood Protector 500ml-Reproofs, protects and preserves the surface from the effects of water absorption and surface soiling."

Not a bad price!
