My soft-top is looking a bit dull lately, unfortunately my car has to sleep outside.

Can anyone recommend a product for restoring it back to its original self? Preferably something thats easy to use.

Cheers

Autoglym do a cabriolet kit, can be picked up from Halfords, about £20 I think.

Don't bother with autoglym. Used renovo on mine last year & still looks like new.

Before using any products on it, try jet washing the roof, being careful not to get to close to the sides though.

You'll probably find there's a lot of dust/dirt stuck in the weave...

Another vote for Renovo. Do thoroughly clean the roof before hand though. As Swiss says, a jet wash will get rid of the ingrained grime. Renovo will then restore the colour. Eliseparts sell Renovo kits.

This is useful. I used the Autoglym kit last year and now bizarrely when the roof is on, the car smells like an NCP stairwell. yuck Not nice.
