Default back in black

I know our roofs are vinyl and I use renevo products to clean and protect,is there anything to restore the black colour on the roof,particularly where the pressure on the vinyl from the bars has produced some lovely lines across the width of the top,these look awful and ruin the roofs look imo.

Never used it myself but have heard others talk about 303 Aerospace.

I've given up on the Aerospace & raggtopp and just use Autoglim Vinyl & Rubber protectant it seems to work just as well and you can get it anywhere. As for the bar lines, that's just a sign of the roofs "maturity" the only cure is a new roof.

Yep, I used to use the AG "bumper snot" before I bought the 303 - it's great once it eventually soaks in !

I've had good success with other vinyl (bumper trim, not roof) using vinyl dye spray http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VHT-SP942-...-/381237627920 if you really want to go properly black.

God no, AG will run all over your paintwork the second it rains and then take months to polish out if your car is RNBP as your forum name suggests.

Duragloss 301 is the way to go.
