Just tried this stuff on my slightly jaded fabric. Absolutely brilliant (NO--I'm not the director!). Looks like new. Strongly recommend. Small size is enough for Chim or Griff. I got the 1L size. Should last me a lifetime. Easy to use too.

Magnus, did you use the dry-cleaning foam first, or straight on with the paint? Doing it myself this week-end? Did you just paint straight over the white stitching on the hood?

You get a shampoo, dye (dark blue or black) and a protector. Shampoo first then apply the dye with a paintbrush when dry. Finally the protector. I suppose I did paint over the stitching--never noticed it to tell the truth--it would be a hell of a job not to surely
PS watch it when you dye around the rear window--it's a sod to get off if you stray on to the window.

I mean the fabric or whatever you call it that covers the roof and at the back.

I had the same problem - says on the bottle dries in 2 hours. Not on the rear screen it doesn't - about 2 nano seconds. A damp rag and a bit of elbow grease did the trick though.

I dyed the stitching too - looks better IMHO

Biggest problem for me so far is resealing. I have used 3 coats of Thompson's so far and the water still soaks in. (but doesn't leak any more)
