I Renovo'd the outside of the hood last year but the inside now looks grubby and the blue has leaked through very slightly on the seams.

Any ideas re cleaning ?

After getting some super glue on my dash last year I found that acetone cleaned it off well and also cleaned the light interior up better than anything else I'd tried with absolutely no effort. I would imagine that acetone is prob not recommended for various reasons but I'm happy with the results.

btw it's what makes up nail polish remover. I'd wait tho first to see if any other suggestions come up altho like I say it worked on my car. I used a leather nourishing product after.

How strange, I just logged on to ask exactly the same question! After using black Renovo a while ago I have the same problem with stich staining at the side flaps. I have used a foaming type upholstery cleaner on the inside that freshened it up a lot and shifted the ordinary soiling but I fear the dye stains may be permanent, any ideas on a spray product to recolour the inside maybe anyone? Now the outside looks new again it's shown up the inside.Looks like when using Renovo you have to be carefull about wetting the stiching too much.
