Renovo do a 3 part kit (all parts available seperately) of Cleaner , coloured REVIVER, Proofer. Search button at top of page or google.

I may have missed where you are so post may be easier or the Renovo International site may suggest stockists (sorry, I buy it from Brown & Gammons in Baldock, 11 miles away).

 

I've used autoglym with excellent results. It's available from most Halfords stores: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...duct_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_185456_langId_-1_categoryId_165682

 

For a quick and easy makeover use ................Shoe Polish!! I tried after another member on hear suggested it, use the liquid one with the sponge on the end, you'll need three or four of them to do the whole roof, be careful when you go around the windows etc as it can drip. If it goes on your windows wipe it immediately with a cloth with some window cleaner on it. I did mine a couple of months ago and it still looks like its just been done and for a total cost of £2.48!

 

I have been thinking of doing that.. I take it it that it doesnt run when it gets wet?


I used AG on mine too. And to keep it bit free one of those lint rollers or a quick brush over with the hover and a soft brush..

 

AutoGlym. The hood protector is brilliant.

 

Auto glym is good for cleaning the hood itself and good for waterproofing but the kits I have seen don't contain anythig to re colour the hood itself.
Whereas renovo is available in black and blue colours which does re stain the hood.
Boot poslish is god for colouring but if you lean on it even after a few weeks you wil get a black arm..(got that t shirt.! )
I have used both now and my vote goes for the renovo
Ebay sellers can do it for £18 shipped

 

Renovo is expensive but I haven't heard a bad thing about it.

I used Auto Glym and reckon I was a little too gentle with the scrubber.

The initial results were superb and even now, after three months they're great but I fancy having another go [but I do like it as new].

Would definately recommend the auto glym for the price.

Autoglym for me

 

Used autoblym on mine. Cleans and waterproofs (the water just stands on it after you proof it) really well but mine has lost colour. Will probably try the renovo in the spring (hardtop on for the winter).

 

....(hardtop on for the winter).

Oh ****, now you've done it.
Here comes another thread

 

Loads of 'usefull' answers up there and nought wrong with the AutoGlym cleaner or proofer BUT .........


the OP wanted "a little bit of colour enhancement in places" to freshen up the COLOUR of the hood and (other than shoe polish or Marmite) Renovo is the product. It is available in a (fairly small) range of colours.

 

Yes but the second part of the OP's post asked if there was a product to "help preserve and protect" and Autoglym fits into this category which is why myself and others recommended it.

 

That's great, thanks very much for all that advice, I would never of thought of using liquid shoe polish! Cant believe it really works!!
However when it rains it looks like its just soaking into the roof, it obviously doesnt leak however I may be better investing in the kit in-order to protect it.

 

Sorry I havent actually tried it yet so dont blame me if it goes wrong!!
I was hoping for some more people to try it out on theirs first

 

I can certainly vouch for the liquid shoe cleaner - it works a treat!!

 

Me too, I have to admit that a was a bit nosy and tried it myself last weekend with a very satisfying result (imo). I am also a bit lazy sometimes, so this time I decided to do it the easy way and not ordering and waiting for recommended special products
