Or just use the correct Renovo stuff that actually cleans, UV protects and waterproofs the hood rather than just making the dirt black

I've used Renovo for 3 years and I reckon shoe polish gives far superior waterproofing, IMHO of course!

What is the best way to apply the polish? Rag or soft brush? Do you have to buff it up after?

I used a rag, no buffing afterwards.
