The tent on the freetop? I use a weak solution of warm TFR sprayed on a closed tent, then "waft" jetwash off again... I use neat TFR on the lower sections that stain due to the freetop struts. Thorough rinsing is essential though... :shock:

No worries. If the worst of the staining is the good old strut stains then i'm pretty sure a mild degreaser should take care of it if the TFR won't touch it... Mine has only ever had very light stains, others i've seen have looked pretty engrained.

Hi,

Used the flash it removed the black grease stains no problem but there is a lowdown yellowish steak (excuse the pun)that is proving to be very stubborn so far.

Cheers..
