I tried the autoglym hood cleaner and protector. At first when I was applying it I thought it foamed up really well and used the special sponge that comes with it. But when I rinsed it off I still had some green residue on the roof. Dried the hood properly like it said to and then sprayed the protector. The next day when it rained and I saw how the water was covering the roof (bubbles) I was pleased untill I opened the door and my seat was soaked. This was the start of my roof / seal leaks you may have read about...

"Fabsil" is excellent stuff. Never used it on a hood, but used it plenty of times on my tent......

It does exactly what it says on the tin.....

I have used the Autoglym Kit last summer and it cleaned really well, the protector was also very good, going to do mine again soon with this.

When applying the protector make sure you dont get it on the windscreen or side windows as it is very difficult to get off.

Renovo re proofer and dye. Used it three years ago and it cured all my leaks. I've not had to do it since although it could do with a clean again.
