Before you do the Renovo, then go through the following . . Otherwise it will not last long or have the greatest effect.
I also agree with others that for the final rinse I like to use a pressure washer, not to close, but sufficiently close to get the last of the cleansers etc out of the fabric. The key to a good finish is always preparation, so get it really clean and use a stiff bristled yard brush type thing to work the fabric . .

1 Cleaning
2 Water repellancy
For the rear screen, but also any of your rubber, silicone or engine bay work . .
3 Rear screen
1 - Dilute down according to level of dirt. Yesterday I cleaned a Chimaera roof that had 8yrs of 'just' decent car shampoo's and used it at 1/8th dilution in a another spray bottle. Soak the roof in it and then using a stiff bristle brush work the 303 in over the roof as it foams. Work on area no more than 2ft sq at a time. Once you're happy with it, move on to the next area. Be careful round the rear screen.
For really stubborn stains use 303 neat with the bruch. Then with a hose set on shower, soak the roof to ensure it's fully out of the fabric, you want sheets of water, not jets. Then I'd wash the car as normal with decent shampoo and rinse off again.
2 - Let the roof dry overnight and then apply the repellent. Follow the instructions and I usually try to give 2 or 3 coats, making sure they dry between.
3 - Follow the instructions and use a good quality MF cloth, nothing that will make any scratches as you wipe it on and off.
If you need to revive the colour, then I've not found anything better than Renovo to be honest . . .
