Protex World Convertible Soft Top Canvas Restorer (Black) 500 Milliliter - Color Restores Like

I have a black convertible beetle with a 14 year old canvas top. Though I have kept it under roof for most of its life, It started to look a little tired and started leaking (actually, it would soak up rain like a sponge). I watched videos on this product and decided to buy. I bought two 500ml bottles, which covered the top nicely with a little left over for touch-ups. If you have a larger top than a beetle, you will need to buy another bottle to cover. I had to use gloves because it looks and feels like an ink. However, when I cleaned up afterward, it washed off with soap and water. All of my seams and one place I had to repair with twine stained well and looks like a new top. I am still in the process of sealing it with the waterproofer product. I will post photos when I am completely finished.

I was very pleased with the Protex products. After applying the conditioner I put the water proofing on and had the finished product. It was enough to do a convertible top on a four seater. The top is 12 years old and looks new. Water beads very well after the treatment.

I had a Mercedes CLK with a blue soft top, which didn't quite match the silver bodywork. So I used this product to not only restore, but to change the actual colour of the soft top fabric to black. I followed the instructions, firstly masking off the car with commercially available paint drop-sheet plastic and masking tape (well worth doing first so as to prevent dye spots on the paintwork), then using a soft paintbrush to apply the restorer. It took 3 coats to achieve the satisfactory black finish, but the result is great. I finished off by applying 2 coats of waterproofing spray agent to protect the fabric finish and to mak the sot top weatherproof. All in all, a great result.

Wear gloves! Hands came clean using pumice soap & water- instructions regarding clean-up on bottle are 'brief'. The Convertible Soft Top Canvas Restorer in Black applied easily using a 2'' foam brush and a small tray. Applied outdoors at 12C . Clean-up while still wet was easy, required some effort (nothing major- just a vigorous rub with a clean cloth) to clean from paint once dry. Dried to an even, black finish. Excellent 'like-new' effect with no streaks or splotches- nothing at all to indicate that the top hadn't just been replaced by a new one. There is enough Restorer left to do another small (Porsche) convertible top completely again should that be necessary. Overall quite satisfied with the result which nicely undid the appearance of 'fading' caused by inappropriate water-proofing agent. Have happily discovered an 'off-label' use. If carefully applied it nicely restores the finish on leather steering wheels!

Excellent quality and does exactly what it says it does. Easy to apply and leaves no streaky marks when applied properly as per the instructions. I’ve used it in a number of different situations and it’s been brilliant in all of them.
