It depends on what type of material it's made from if like mine it's vinyl then just car shampoo and water is fine but I'm not sure what to use to "proof "it if it's mohair or double duck!

Would Fabsil or Nikwax do the trick?

i am not sure what you mean by material, as vinyl is a material.. assuming you mean it is either double duck or mohair i use "Renovo" water proofer on my modern convertible which lives outside all the time and i am very happy with the results and do it every two years or so.
