Hood looking a bit tatty !

[rabowman]

The hood on my 08 GTC is beginning to look a bit worse for wear.
Local valet company put Renovo Dark blue on and re-proofed it, but I am still not really happy.
Other than having a new outer layer fitted (£1.8k ish) does any one know a good specialist that could bring the existing hood back to life?
Thanks

It is beginning to have the odd faded section, mainly n/s qtr by rear window plus section over n/s door.
Using Dark Blue Renovo does not seem to cure it.
£1,800 ish was my own 'guestermate'

Thanks for the replies.
Renovo certainly did a first class job on the hood of my AK Cobra and also the other day on my TVR.

I spoke to Dorset Sports Cars today who do all my car detailing polishing etc. They said they have a process that will cure the problem as long as I do not mind the hood being black. (very dark blueish at mo).

Price is good and they are collecting the car 1/10 back 3/10.
Will update then

Watch this space !!

The blue hood looked better before I tried using Renovo myself.
I think the current appearance is a lot down to me.
Will discuss as advised

Done !!
Looks a definite 90% better.
You can still see slight tone variation in the material where it folds, but nothing like before.
They dyed it black and I got them to leave the dark blue stitching under the window gutters.
Happy with result

Thanks for that enjoythemusic.
I have arranged for the car to go in every quarter to be re proofed.
They collect and return wax polish the car and re proof for about UK £160.oo.
Has to be worth it.
