Convertible Soft Top Canvas Restorer (Black) 500ml - Colour Restores Like New

Excellent quality and does exactly what it says it does. Easy to apply and leaves no streaky marks when applied properly as per the instructions. I’ve used it in a number of different situations and it’s been brilliant in all of them.

Used other products to first clean and revitalise roof on my 27 year old Saab convertible bought new in 1996. Over time have tried to keep roof in as good a condition as possible. Roof remains in one piece and fairly good condition but living out in the “sticks” do get a lot of green on the roof from trees etc. Do mainly keep in my garage though. Anyway based on reviews took a chance on this product. As I said used two other products from another manufacturer to get roof as clean as possible and ready for this to be put on. Choose a dry day with no rain forecast the following day. My roof still had some green from trees etc. on it so was hoping this product would cover everything. Should not have worried as the black “paint” covered everything perfectly and gave a great covering all round. Just make sure you do roof in one go. I did one side of roof then went round to other side immediately to do that to avoid any paint lines. Use a soft bristle brush that is normally used for gloss paint and did have enough to go over all areas again. Could you use a gloss roller? Possibly but you would not get into the corners of the roof very well and this is where I had the green from trees etc. It covered them and everything perfectly. As you go round though doing the “painting” make sure you have plenty of rags. This is to wipe any running paint off glass and bodywork immediately as it states could become hard to remove if left too long on paintwork. 100% coverage and all green from trees etc. totally covered. After leaving for a day or so then put a final protection coat (different product) on top of paint and roof really looks nearly new. I knew it had done a good job as when out driving saw someone turn round and take a second look at car. They must have thought that roof looks great for a “P” regd. enough said. The whole process of using various cleaners, final black paint and then protection product was hard work but results totally worth it.

Easy to use,had improved the car top that look much better now

Just what I needed to restore my convertible roof as it had been parked under a tree for over a year. Dries quickly, colour fade resistant and helps protect your roof from further degradation. Great quality better than others on the market due to how effective it is. Excellent cleaning power.

Used this product on my convertible Mini One, and I have to say I was very impressed. Easy to apply - you just brush it on with a paintbrush - it's fairly idiot-proof, which is handy for someone with my skill at car maintenance. I'd bought the car secondhand a few months ago, and the soft top was always a little faded and worn. This brought it back to almost-good-as-new condition in just two coats. Some tips: 1. The instructions on the bottle warns you not to get it on the paintwork. You are 100% going to get it on the paintwork! The liquid has the consistency of inky water, so even the slightest breeze will cause it to splash. But don't panic, just keep a damp cloth handy as you apply and wipe off spillages . (It doesn't seem to damage the paintwork, the smaller splashes in particular are just much harder to remove once they're dry). 2. You probably need more product than you think. The material on mine drank it up and I easily used two whole bottles on not quite two coats for a small convertible. 3. Each coat took about 40 minutes. The ideal day to do it would be overcast with little chance of rain, because heavy sun might cause the dye to dry unevenly. However, it dries very fast, so I found it was OK to put the cover back on about an hour after I finished. All in all, a bit of patience and the top looks good as new!

Not the greatest out there but for 16 quid it is what it is.

Pleased with the results of my black soft top was going bit grey, aged etc but like new now manage do two coats with it which was obviously better result , easy to apply too. You just have to be careful applying it because it's a thin liquid dye and can drip or run but wipes of easy and dries quick .

Great quality and easy to use

I was very pleased with the Protex products. After applying the conditioner I put the water proofing on and had the finished product. It was enough to do a convertible top on a four seater. The top is 12 years old and looks new. Water beads very well after the treatment.

I had a Mercedes CLK with a blue soft top, which didn't quite match the silver bodywork. So I used this product to not only restore, but to change the actual colour of the soft top fabric to black. I followed the instructions, firstly masking off the car with commercially available paint drop-sheet plastic and masking tape (well worth doing first so as to prevent dye spots on the paintwork), then using a soft paintbrush to apply the restorer. It took 3 coats to achieve the satisfactory black finish, but the result is great. I finished off by applying 2 coats of waterproofing spray agent to protect the fabric finish and to mak the sot top weatherproof. All in all, a great result.

Wear gloves! Hands came clean using pumice soap & water- instructions regarding clean-up on bottle are 'brief'. The Convertible Soft Top Canvas Restorer in Black applied easily using a 2'' foam brush and a small tray. Applied outdoors at 12C . Clean-up while still wet was easy, required some effort (nothing major- just a vigorous rub with a clean cloth) to clean from paint once dry. Dried to an even, black finish. Excellent 'like-new' effect with no streaks or splotches- nothing at all to indicate that the top hadn't just been replaced by a new one. There is enough Restorer left to do another small (Porsche) convertible top completely again should that be necessary. Overall quite satisfied with the result which nicely undid the appearance of 'fading' caused by inappropriate water-proofing agent. Have happily discovered an 'off-label' use. If carefully applied it nicely restores the finish on leather steering wheels!

Great product, easy to apply, works great, little pricey but way cheaper than replacing the top, will buy again and again, also just a small amount was needed to cover the top on my solstice.

Producto muy bueno para su especificación de uso ,lo volvería a comprar
