What would you recommend for cleaning the fibreglass High Top ? Mine has lots of ground in dirt that the jet wash doesnt budge .

Luckily most of the dirt came off mine with my jet wash, but was looking on getting some of this to give it an extra clean/protection:

Also some other products available:

I had a west I 20years ago I put a small amount of bleech in my auto wash it cleaned it but you have to polish it to protect it (a small amount) and a good scrubbing brush

When you have it clean protect it with some good polish.
Something like Autoglym SRP (2 applications) and Autoglym EGP (2 applications) and then a high quality wax ( Autoglym HD wax).

I washed my hi top a few weeks back and it looks really dull - as if there is some soap left on it. Should I try and get this off before I use a polish?

Hi,
When mine gets really grubby I use Vim. No it does not scratch it and then use good quality polish ie Mer.
For cleaning T Cut or Brasso
Don
PS. Only 3-4 miles away. Call in for a chat.
