How do you clean the exterior? Can this be driven into an automatic car wash or not?

I hand wash my truck but have used a self service car wash have even used the soft brush feature. I would not go through an auto car wash. This is the second topper I have bought and like them a lot.

Soap water and hand washing. I don't what they about it but I don't believe the support poles will survive an automatic car wash.

I called Bestop and asked the same question. They said I could run it thru a touchless wash, it would probably leak a little from the pressure, though. They advised not to use a regular car wash as it would scratch the windows. The last time I washed my truck a touchless was not available so I just took the top off. Regardless, I love this topper!

honestly I haven't try it yet but looks like should be okay if the drive thru car wash is only equipt with soft cloth and nothing abrasive.good luck

You can use this product on cars that have been rained on, as well as, mildly dirty cars. Use it generously. Make sure you have the proper towels. I use the Griots green ones pictured. I have found that the dirtier the car, the more spray I use. It is important to let the solution set in on your vehicle for about 30 seconds or so to lift the dirt. You really don't need to scrub at all. I would compare application to a detail spray. Spray on, let sit, wipe off with first towel, polish with clean second towel. That's it.

I have never had to clean mine. But it looks like a damp cloth alone may work or a damp cloth with a mild soap might do the trick. It's made of a material that is suede-like, maybe a chamois.I hope that helps you.

Soap and water works fine for cleaning. To clean the outside without leaving streaks, I use a stainless steel cleaner. The outside is a super shiny plastic that shows streaks really easy. I personally would like this better with a brushed surface.

We just hose it off, using a little soap. We clean it on the driveway . Good luck, my wife loves her Budge

I have had no problems with it in car washes.Make sure it is securely mounted with no long bolts with extra threads exposed that may cause a problem. It worked well for me..

i always wash between uses - why would you want to shine your car with a dirty cloth?

It would be easy to clean as long as the mess didn't sit too long and have time to soak in. It doesn't have to be removed to be cleaned but it is so easily removed it is just as easy to pull it out to clean as it is to clean while in the vehicle.

I have used mine for years & have never had to clean it. Although it is visibly dirty the instuctions say it works better the dirtier it gets which I have found to be true. However, I believe you can wash it in the washing machine (the fabric part only) but I would recommend maybe a commercial washing machine

There is an interior cleaner. (Clearly labelled) There is also car wash, exterior liquid wax, and quick detailer to use inbetween car washes. The kit has everything you need to maintain the car.

I clean it very carefully using Windex and paper towels.It looks amazing afterwards however is very time consuming.

I have put it in the washing machine with cold water and then the dryer on the lowest setting. I've washed it about five times as I take my dog to the dog park and sometimes he gets it muddy. It has held up fine and works great and keeps the backseat of the car totally covered. Highly recommend.

I do when I am just doing a quick wipe down do get the dust off the car with it and a microfiber towel. Don't spray a lot or it can leave a film on the glass if not wiped enough and if your microfiber towel is pretty damp from it already, just use the towel and it will work good also. Mequiars glass cleaner is one of the best glass cleaners on the market and is really easy to use and to me a must have also!

I wash mine with dish detergent. Run it under water to get it wet, then put a few drops of detergent on both sides, agitate the surface with your fingers. Afterwards, run it under the water again to rinse while squeezing the excess suds/soap out. When you're finished let it air dry.

Very well! And i just run hot water through it and polish with a soft cloth. I just googled cleaning options. There are other ways, but that was the easiest way i found.
