Where to start?

My old man has a new little project car, the only problem is that it’s been parked up off of the road for quite a few years. As you can imagine it’s pretty grim.

What’s the best plan of action? I’m worried about the fabric roof and if there’s irreparable damage. Few pictures below.

Snow foam with apc, high pressure rinse (not too close with the lance), citrus pre rinse and snow foam over the top, leave it to dwell for 10 minutes and rinse again. Then maybe move onto decontamination with tar and glue remover to break up some of the sap before a contact wash. APC or hood cleaner with a soft bristled brush on the soft top, rinse again. Contact wash on the paint, more decon with fallout and tar remover, clay bar or clay Mitt, then move to compounding and polishing with protection on the top. Job jobbed

Other people may add some more steps to that tbh. And then other people would just lob a sponge at it?
