Anyone tried the Renovo soft top canvas reviver on their cabby ? I am thinking of trying it out but I am scared it might turn out worse than it is now.
Still saving up for a new soft top.

Not tried this product myself,but have heard and read nothing but praise for it.It will not work a miricale,that hole/tear will still be there,but it will help waterproofing.

Yes. I cleaned the roof of mine yesterday. I was going to buy the autoglym kit but all that is is a detergent spray, a reproofer and a sponge for £20. Instead I hoovered the roof to get the dust out and gave it a really good clean with a sponge and soapy water. When that had been rinsed off and dried I used the renovo I bought £7 for 600ml spray. I used about half and it came up really good. Havent got any picks yet though but would definately recommend it. It was a lot blacker when I finished

Ive used the renovo plastic window cleaner and is was great, so can only assume the soft top cleaner will be as good. However I have used Autoglym canvas roof cleaner and that was really good also. Let us know how you get on if you get some.
I used the hood reviver (blue colour) a few days ago. I got the kit with the cleaner, reviver and ultraproofer in it. It was quite expensice at about £45.
It has brought a lovely colour back to the canvas, but does have some 'application' marks that maybe due to my brush skills.
My only point would be that the roof now looks like a different material - its hard to explain but it has made the texture a bit rougher, almost like a tarred flat roof on a cheap council house.
I have yet to apply the ultra-proofer, but it is possible that using this will also change the appearance slightly.
