Dying for a new roof

[Oddly Godly]

Last week I decided to try to revamp my very grubby tired roof.
Cleaned with roof cleaner.
Cleaned with milton.
3 coats of renovo dye.
3 coats of fabsil water proffer.

Result roof looks pretty good. It was a last throw of the dice as I was planning on getting a new roof anyway. May ger another year or two out of it now

Worth a try when it’s on its last legs, no to expensive to do and only your time.

I had the cleaner, milton tablets and dye left over already so it was just the fabsil l had to buy. I would have already replaced it but the place I was hoping to take it was having trouble getting the burgundy canvas so I put it on hold.

Mine hasn't even got a window in it, but its fine if I'm moving forward at pace when its raining.. A bugger if I have to slow down or stop though...So I envy you your roof. Looks good from here...

Word to the wise... Don't ever get Renovo dye on the bodywork as it will stain it permanently. I bought a red Alfa Spider a few years back and it didn't show much when the car was wet (like when I bought it) but I could never remove it.

Looks like you were careful/lucky.

So how do you keep the drop bears out? Must be risky.

I learned that from experience. I make sure I wipe it off as I go along now

I've had a couple of mx5s, the mk2 had a glass window. I wish bmw made the z3 with one
