Soft Top Sun Damage

Lisa Newman · June 20, 2016

Hello I'm enquiring if anyone knows of a place where I can have my roof re- dyed? I live in Lincolnshire is there anyone who can recommend anyone or a dye to use? Thankyou

Firstly, welcome. Another member to the sub-chapter of Lincs MLOC.

Autoglym do a soft-top product, but I'm not sure how much it will dye if the fading is that bad. (I'd be worried about a patchy finish looking worse to be honest... but maybe that's just me.)

Let's see a picture of your car so we know who we're waving at!

Hya thanks for replying. I'm new to this site so finally have fathomed out how to answer you! I don't know how to upload a picky from my phone , do I need to do that on a computer? Yes I agree I'm very cautious of applying it myself even know I recon I could .

Ive used the renovo restorer and then the reproofer, its a very good product, not cheap but probably cheaper than a new roof or dye. How bad is the roof in question.

Yes, I used it on my Elise 111s - I suffer from OCD and was quite prepared to buy a new one if I was not 100% happy with the results! Just follow the instructions and take your time, it really isn't difficult.

That's fantastic I would upload a picky if I could but can't seem to do it on my phone, it's bad it looks like a mucky brown but meant to be black it was like that when I bought it 4 yrs ago

Welcome. It may not be faded as much as you think - could just be ingrained dirt. I'd try the Autoglym Fabric Hood Cleaner first, and if that doesn't work, go for the Renovo.

kieranexige · June 21, 2016

I agree with Dave.... A really good clean is a good place to start. Even it it ensures a clean surface to use the renovo on.

I used the autoglym product mentioned above on my vx220 and the wife's z4. Made a huge difference.

With regards to uploading a photo from your phone I would suggest first leaving the mobile version on the site ( located right at the bottom of the page called full version), then using the attach a image in the reply.

Hope this helps
