I've got a dark blue hood which is in good nick, but the colour's not what it was, and there a couple of scuffs.

Anyone got any ideas as to what's the best dye to use?

Thanks!

I used 'Renovo'on my blue Boxster hood a few years ago, it made it like new again and water beaded on it as it did on the paintwork. It took a while to do as I masked it up fully, used the cleaner then the renovating stuff but it really was worth it - probaly took about four hours.

Renovo Blue Soft Top Reviver

http://www.maxdetailing.co.uk/renovo-blue-soft-top...

Or better still the full Renovo kit.

  • Cleaner
  • Blue Reviver
  • Waterproofer
I have used the full kit on black roofs with good results, I cant see why the blue stuff would be any different.

My initial results with Blue Renovo were promising.

Didn't stay looking good for that long though.

In the end I replaced the hood with a new Black one, I believe the Black Renovo works much better.
