Nicely done. Presentation was excellent and results looked great for this stubborn recurring problem.

I like how your outfit is almost the same combination as the Bird....

Looks good , I foresee a run on steam cleaners and raggtopp cleaner.

Thanks for sharing. Once again, TBN trumps all of the other TBird forums, websites, etc., with valuable information for retro TBird owners. As I always tell retro TBird owners, you need to be on this site!

I ordered my steam cleaner from Amazon yesterday after seeing your video. Thanks for sharing! I hope it works as well on my PCR. I will plan on trying it on Monday and will let you know.

Just finished cleaning my PCR top. I used the 303 brand cleaner with the Bissell steamshot. Looks great. The dirt and fold stains are gone. I am waiting for it to completely dry before finishing with the 303 canvas protectant. Also got energetic and cleaned the PCR floor mats. Thanks again for sharing. This is why I like TBN.

Looks great! And no rinsing? I have the rag top, better buy the steamer next. OR I have a small steam iron with a brush head, I bet it would work too.

I have a PCR that looks just like his did and also have a steam cleaner. DUH Who da' thunk it ?

Looking at the video again I noticed that the dirt and fold stains are exactly in the same spots as I had in mine. I did the same process last summer and it still looks pretty good, as the fold spots have not come back. But then again I constantly clean the top and stay on top of it.
