Thompsons Water Seal. It does exactly what it says in the bible....

Worth doing on a regular basis - mine gets done at 1 or 2 times a year.

I've just re-done (clean/re-coloured/re-proofed) mine with Renovo's products, judging by the reactions it received at Sunday's mid Essex meet people think it provides a quality finish.

I have just re-waterprofed mine using Fabsil (it takes one pot noodle pot per coat).
I found this very easy to do but it is best to do it outside (especially for the roof pannel) as it smells bad.
I put two coats on with two days between coats (from memory it says 24 hours minimum).
I washed the car the other day and found that the water just ran off the hood and none got in (even if I was trying to see how waterproof it was!).
