RenovoSoft Top Reviver - Black (500ml)

I have never been tempted to write an Amazon review before, but upon reading the ones here, I feel like it is in order. The product worked absolutely perfectly for me and my convertible top looks more or less brand new. You have to follow the instructions, though.It is absolutely imperative to wash the top first with a product designed to remove not just dirt but oil, mold, and other contaminates. I did this twice with a power washer and brush with moderately stiff bristles using a product I got for $8 or so at a local car parts store. A couple days later, I washed it again before applying the Renovo. If the surface is not clean and free of contaminates, you are going to get a patchy look because it can't absorb properly.I applied the product with a 2 inch brush overlapping the strokes a little from the center to the side IN SHADE. Again, if you do it in direct sunlight, you will not get good results. When it dried, I did it again and touched up areas that needed it. When it was dried, I treated it with Scotchgard (again from the auto store) and that was it.So . . . takes several hours and you have to apply it methodically and with care (i.e. slowly), but it works great. If you can't make that kind of time or have that kind of patience, take it to a pro or get someone else to do it. However, for a total of about $50 and maybe 4-5 hours of work, my 10 year old car looks new (well, at least the top does.)

Very good black ragtop dye, easy to apply, easy to clean up. Looks very good, almost like new on my 2010 SAAB.

First I cleaned my fabric top with a scrub brush, and after allowing for drying overnight. Then, I taped off the edges. I then painted the reviver on with a three inch paintbrush, allowing for three hours drying time in the sun between coats. After three coats I used a fabric sealant, applying in the same manner as above. The result was very good. Not great, but 10 times better looking than before. The fabric has a bright black shiny look, and the water beads when the top gets wet. The white stretch streaks where the metal frame stresses the fabric are gone. I highly recommend this product. The auto body shop dudes and detailers I surveyed do not know of this product, and I felt very vindicated after using this, knowing I outsmarted them all. Oh, I have a 09 Silver Saturn Sky.

The reviver worked as claimed. I used it to dye a brown convertible to black. Care must be taken when applied to avoid runs because it is very watery. One bottle was enough for two coats on a Miata

The top looks great now, as good as new. It took a few extra days to come but I still got it sooner than the estimate I was given at the order.

I've read many reviews on this product and I can only say if it did not out well for you, you must have done something wrong. My 16 year old convertible top, which I actually bought from a junk yard, literally looks new. With two bottles of the black recover and ultra proofer. I am 110% satisfied. Highly recommended it. But follow instructions to the letter. You can't go wrong. I didn't rush the process and I took a whole weekend to do the job...RIGHT!!!

Loved the end result but not that I thought I was getting a liter and instead got 500ml. Had to repurchase to get a 2nd coat on my mini...would have cost me $80 for a liter and now costing me $120 :(. 3 stars for showing a large bottle in the photo but 5 stars on results- you will need a liter for 2 coats!Buying the proofed next...maybe the vendor will give me a discount on that and I can change my rating.

A few days ago i posted my review stating how happy and satisfied i was with the Renovo reviver product,But on the other hand when i ordered a second bottle for extra satisfactory results,I was mistakenly sent a wrong product.That really wipped the smile off my face!,Well today i was surprised to receive in the mail,The correct product(Renovo),They decided to correct the mistake and rIght now i'm the happiest man in the world as a result!!!,I wanna say thank you to all the parties concerned for putting a smile back on my face and restoring my faith in you.I Love you...i love you...i love you!!! :)
