Yup its canvas, i bought the renovo kit and did mine the other week, cleaner, restorer and then ultraproofer, must say it looks fantastic as the restorer is black i assume it actually dyes the fabric back to black, looks like new !

I've just used the autoglym version this weekend - very impressed with the result - it removed all the grime and really restored the colour too which I wasn't expecting. Pretty good considering it's roughly 1/4 the cost of renovo.

Yes, I used the Autoglym product this year with the same result as you. Just shows that a lot of the discolouration must be ingrained dirt and not necessarily colour/UV fade etc.
