Hood Cleaning

[bigjohnboy]

Whats the best way to clean / restore the colour of the hood , mine is blue and could do with a clean , any ideas

[GarryM]

One way is to wash the hood in the normal way then when dry apply Thompson's Waterseal (yes really). Generally looks a lot better and proofs the hood. Recently done this on mine. It doesn't restore a badly faded hood to "like new" though so if you need that then there are products such as Renovo which you might like to try.

Coincidence - Thompsons Water Seal was recommended to me to recently, then a couple of other people said they'd used it too. Went out and bought some today - £6.00ish I think. Will let you know how it goes.

Where do you get Thompsons WaterSeal from? Neither B&Q nor Homebase had any in Cambridge.

Use Renovo to clean and restore the colour on your hood.

Thompsons, Fabsil or Renovo to waterproof it

url for Renovo on one of the many prevyarse threads on this subject

I got it from Homebase - it was with the building materials in a remote corner. I'd have thought Wickes or anyone would do it, it's fairly mainstream.

Yes, they're confusing cololur restorer and waterproofer - two different things. Renovo did a blinding job on my 4.0 Griff to restore the navy colour; then waterproof it. I used Fabsil but Thompsons seems to be getting good press..

Not confusing the two, but proofing the hood does make it look better. I would try that first unless your hood is really badly faded.

Renovo is available at most SAAB Dealers spares counters, I belive they only have the Black and Blue available.

I got mine direct from Renovo, prompt service.
