RenovoRHRBLU1122 International Soft Top Reviver, 1 Litre, Dark Blue

Thought the blue roof on the 20 year old Saab was pretty good but gave it a coat anyway. Now it looks like new!! Even covered an old small moss patch which was cleaned away ages ago. Brilliant product.

The media could not be loaded. I had been looking to treat my roof, I have a navy roof on my car. The car is 6 years old, I’ve only had it for 3 and I’d not treated it, so there was some sun damage (see before shots)Applying the colour with a clean brush, I did find I was going through the liquid quite fast. A whole litre bottle do do 2 coats.The colour came out really well though (see after pic)I waited 24 hours to apply with the waterproofing treatment.Meantime I read a review from someone who said they used a spray bottle, so I tried that.Used an old (but clean) spray bottle to apply the treatment, then brush it in worked a treat. Luckily it was done the day before we got some thunderstorms.I took a little video to show how the rain was just beading up on the roof, not soaking in.Really impressed with these products.And a fraction of the price to get it done professionally (I was quoted £230 for my golf convertible) buying the cleaner, colour and waterproofing treatment in all cost about £60I’ve normally left maintenance to a garage.So glad I spotted this treatment.

This is a good product but make sure the colour is acceptable by doing a small test first. It runs like water and can be a bit frightening when a cautious dab runs down the hood and onto the paintwork but make sure you have a bucket of soapy water and a sponge handy in advance and it is easily dealt with. I have not tried any other product like this so my experience is limited. It did the job for me on an old Mercedes soft top and I was pleased with the result. However - check the weather forecast and if there is any chance of rain before it dries (a couple of hours at least) and you cannot garage it then postpone to another day. I did a couple of liberal coats last year and it is still looking like a brand new hood.

This product exceeded my expectations beyond belief. I have an 18 year old 3.2 CLK Mercedes with a very faded dark blue fabric roof. Don't panic if the colour is not the same as your current colour as it dries to the colour wanted. The application is simple but be very aware of glass and body work overpaints as these are a devil to remove. Allow yourself ample time to apply and don't rush a second coat, let it dry in its own time. I have left it 24 hours before applying the waterproofing. follow the instructions to the letter and you will be amazed at the result. My old Mercedes bodywork is immaculate but was really let down by the tatty roof. I now have, thanks to Renovo, a new roof to match the beautiful body.

Good product

Stupidly following the advice on other reviews I thought any spillage would be easily wiped off bodywork and glass and started applying the dye in situ. A quarter way through I realised my mistake and removed the fabric top (done easily on an Elise, more fool me!) and finished it on the ground. What had spilled on the fibreglass bodywork was a pain to get off and delayed finishing the brushing on of the dye, which caused a conspicuous line between the coats where I'd had to stop applying for a while. Three coats around the line hid most of it, but I can still see it. The end result was a much darker fabric top that feels quite coarse compared with the original which needed another coat of waterproofing sealant in addition to the dye. A bit of a palaver but got there in the end.

If you are apprehensive and worried about trying this yourself then dont be. I bought a mini cooper S convertible and the roof was faded. My concern was what if it comes out worse, well it didn't and it looks 100 times better. This pot was enough to do 2 coats and I've still got some left which would probably be enough for a 3rd if I wanted.

the product does a great job of recolouring my faded roof on my saab . tok two coats applied carefully in a dry envioronment . care is needed to ensure that you evenly apply the colour.also be aware that the renovo ultra proofer needs to be applied once the colour has had 24 hours to dry properly so it is not a 5 minute job but well worth doing if you want good results
