![]() Jordan is right, but if it doesn't work you can use special algae remover for soft tops (convertible), and I have been told that round-up works pretty good as well.
In general something with a very high, or very low pH value should also have an effect.

![]() Its just the standing water and the time in the sun that let the algae grow..
you will need to kill the algae with a mild solution of water and household bleach , I use a toothbrush for the crevices ... ![]() tastes funny inthe morning tho ' ![]() ![]() but you still need to use elbow grease and something to get it off the paint, like suggested previously. it doesn't come back again for along while.

![]() use hypochlorite solution (cheap bleach @ 10/1 in plain warm water)
it will wash it off and kill any remaining algal spores preventing recurrence. ![]()
