Default Fading hood colour

i know there are products out there to apply in order to protect the hood. Are there any products which restore the blackness of the colour? (if that makes any sense!)

cheers

Alistair

I put 303 Aerospace protectant on my blue hood a month ago and it restored the darkness of the blue colour that had faded. It also made the material look a little shinier. Happy with results.

I got some 'Renovo' Vinyl hood cleaner. You paint it on leave it for up to an hour depending on how dirty the hood is then wipe off with a wet cloth.

I bricked it a bit after it started to go white when I was paiting it on but I am well chuffed with the results. It really cleaned it up and turned it black again.

(I then used the 303 protectant to waterproof it)
