AUTOGLYM hood cleaner VS. RENOVO hood cleaner

I have always heard the Renovo kit is very good.

They charge about 60 for the whole kit, while Autoglym is only 20 from halfrauds.

I will definitely buy the Renovo kit as soon as pay day comes, in about 2 weeks, but I was just wondering is Autoglym kit alright to use just for the time being? Are they good or crap?

Autoglym is not to be knocked because of the price.
I use it and for the money it is a good piece of kit.
Never used the Renovo kit so can't comment on that :cool:

Hi..I have used the autoglym kit on my old hood before it was recently replaced.. it did a real good job. The old hood was getting thread bare looked horrid from underneath.. It kept the rain out and the pre-cleaner got rid of the dirt too. I do not know if you vacuum your hood but it really helps to remove the loose dirt before applying the cleaner and the protector. I don't remember the water beading like freshly applied resin polish , it did however run off like tent canvas. Cheers David :D If you ever need to relace your hood I know a guy who been fitting hoods to E30 and other Convertibles for 30 years.. fantastic job £825 including mobile fitting David :mad: :P
