## Description

Specially formulated to deeply penetrate and restore faded canvas soft tops, delivering a strong, even finish. Apply in cool, overcast conditions for best results.

Review: So versatile and brilliant quality - Excellent quality and does exactly what it says it does. Easy to apply and leaves no streaky marks when applied properly as per the instructions. I’ve used it in a number of different situations and it’s been brilliant in all of them.
Review: Does what it states. - Used other products to first clean and revitalise roof on my 27 year old Saab convertible bought new in 1996. Over time have tried to keep roof in as good a condition as possible. Roof remains in one piece and fairly good condition but living out in the “sticks” do get a lot of green on the roof from trees etc. Do mainly keep in my garage though. Anyway based on reviews took a chance on this product. As I said used two other products from another manufacturer to get roof as clean as possible and ready for this to be put on. Choose a dry day with no rain forecast the following day. My roof still had some green from trees etc. on it so was hoping this product would cover everything. Should not have worried as the black “paint” covered everything perfectly and gave a great covering all round. Just make sure you do roof in one go. I did one side of roof then went round to other side immediately to do that to avoid any paint lines. Use a soft bristle brush that is normally used for gloss paint and did have enough to go over all areas again. Could you use a gloss roller? Possibly but you would not get into the corners of the roof very well and this is where I had the green from trees etc. It covered them and everything perfectly. As you go round though doing the “painting” make sure you have plenty of rags. This is to wipe any running paint off glass and bodywork immediately as it states could become hard to remove if left too long on paintwork. 100% coverage and all green from trees etc. totally covered. After leaving for a day or so then put a final protection coat (different product) on top of paint and roof really looks nearly new. I knew it had done a good job as when out driving saw someone turn round and take a second look at car. They must have thought that roof looks great for a “P” regd. enough said. The whole process of using various cleaners, final black paint and then protection product was hard work but results totally worth it.

## Features

- Contains sensitizing substances. May produce an allergic reaction.
- WHAT DOES THIS PRODUCT DO - Specially formulated to colour restore your faded canvas soft top this colour restorer will present a strong and even finish penetrating deep into your canvas top. Used after Protex Canvas Cleaner, colour restoring your top is the second stage in the Protex soft top restoration process.
- COVERAGE & PREPARATION - It is recommended that approximately 500ml of product is sufficient to restore a top for a 2 seater car. It is best to apply the product in cool/overcast conditions so that drying time is not too fast and to avoid causing an uneven finish.
- APPLICATION STEP 1 - Shake the bottle well and decant sufficient product into a separate container to apply to the soft top. Then start at the centre and work outwards apply the restorer quickly and evenly with a clean paint brush taking care not to spill any onto the vehicles paintwork.
- APPLICATION STEP 2 - Leave for 3 hours to allow the restorer to dry and if required recoat and again allow 3 hours drying time. Do not expose to moisture until the restorer has completely dried.
- FOLLOW UP - It is recommended that the canvas is then sealed and protected using Protex Canvas Waterproofer.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use a waterproof product after applying Protex.**
A: The product as a cleaner is brilliant (for a BLACK fabric roof only).  They do their own roof proofer which is great as well. BUT from experience you'll need at least two coats, so two to three bottles 😉Having used other products as an ex auto detailer (for 28 years) this is one of the best ones I've recently come across.

**Q: Is it Suitable for synthetic material?**
A: I have not tried it on synthetic materials but I cannot see any reason why it would not work equally well. Try it on a small patch first.

**Q: Cover a power washed damaged blue roof**
A: This is a really good cleaner BUT only suitable for black fabric roofs. As it contains a black pigment. But will make your blue look even worse than it is. RENOVO do a Blue fabric roof reviver.

**Q: The product I bought did not indicate any color. can i go ahead and use on my brown canvas top?**
A: I wouldn't think so,as I used it on my black convertible hood did a great job but it's like a black dye.
