Renovo

The market-leading system for cleaning, restoring and weatherproofing tired, faded and dirty mohair, duck canvas and vinyl convertible hoods, in all colours. Following the straightforward process and your hood 'looks like brand new' said TV's Quentin Wilson (Mercedes SL) - Clean, Revive, Ultraproof

Renovo Canvas Hood Cleaner

Renovo Soft Top Canvas Cleaner (500ml) is an effective liquid cleaner that will gently remove dirt, mould, tree sap and bird droppings from all fabric tops and boat covers. It contains a fungicide. It is recommended as the first step to reviving your hood – Clean, Revive and Ultraproof.

Prior to application, gently brush the surface to remove any loose dirt. Shake the bottle well, pour into a suitable container and spread a thin, even coat over the surface with a sponge, 2" inch nylon paint brush or disposable foam brush. Gently agitate the cleaner with a soft bristle brush, sponge or cloth. Stubborn stains may require the cleaner to remain on the top for approximately 30 minutes and gentle scrubbing with a soft bristle brush. Be careful not to allow any brush to come in contact with the plastic window as it may scratch. To remove the cleaner, either hose off or wipe off with a wet sponge or cloth, continually rinsing the cloth/sponge in clean water. Make sure that all traces of the cleaner are removed, then allow the top to dry completely before applying Fabric Soft Top Reviver or Fabric Soft Top Ultra Proofer.

Race Glaze ScreenSheen Kit

Why plastic rear screens go brittle, milky and discoloured – and how to restore them.
Clear vinyl windows are made flexible by plasticisers that are easily leached from the surface. Solvents and unsuitable cleaners speed the process, leading to brittleness.
Cloudiness and discolouring are caused by dirt, microscopic scratches and contaminants that penetrate the very soft surface of the vinyl. Wax and oil cause cloudiness and yellowing, so waxy dressings should be rigorously avoided.
Deterioration of vinyl is accelerated by UV in sunlight, and unlike coloured vinyls, plastic windows have very little protection.
The solution is to remove scratches and contamination and then, most importantly, to protect the surface with a coating that inhibits loss of plasticisers and provides UV protection.
The solution is Screensheen, proven in a variety of tough environments on plastic screens. It

• Removes scratches and cuffs
• Restores transparency
• Protects against loss of plasticisers and UV damage
• Is also suitable for Acrylic

The product is easy to use and the results are impressive – much cheaper than buying a new screen too, which will usually leak due to mismatch of stitching holes. It's a simple three step process.

1. MicroBuff paste takes out visible scratches
2. MicroClear removes microscopic abrasion marks and haze to restore transparency
3. MicroGlaze provides an optical coating that improves clarity, protects against UV damage and inhibits the loss of plasticisers. The treated surface is antistatic and repels dirt so that it stays clean longer.

Kit contains everything you need to improve about 6 screens - applicator cloths and 75ml each of MicroBuff, MicroClear and MicroGlaze.

Restoration of scratched, milky and opaque plastic rear screens

Most convertible cars with a plastic rear screen suffer from the problem of the screen turning milky, opaque, scuffed and unsightly. This reduces rear vision, increases the risk of an accident and detracts from the appearance of the car reducing its value. This can be easily and inexpensively corrected by using either Hindsight Plastic Restorer, a unique, worldwide patented 2 stage product.

World-leading
Hindsight has been developed by a world-leading company which has specialised in the use of plastics for over thirty years. Each kit comprises:

(A) a unique penetrative oil which lubricates the plastic and reduces the stress patterns which can go right through your screen, while a finishing treatment restores the deep shine.

Part B removes scuffs, surface damage and opaque areas. Hindsight restores most plastic windows to virtually new condition and resolving the problem of having to throw away an otherwise perfectly good hood.

Outstanding results
Hindsight has been tested on virtually every make of European sports car with outstanding results. Here is a Mercedes SL with half of the rear screen treated with Hindsight. Not only is the window much clearer but Hindsight also removes the line or bar which can appear across the middle of the screen.

The product gives beautiful results on Mazda MX-5s, Porsche 911s and Boxsters, MGF & TF, BMW Z3 and M3, Mercedes SL, Ferrari F355, Rolls-Royce and also works superbly on Acrylic headlights and solid plastic windows e.g. on Morgans.
