Fading Roof Colour

hmeah · 04-09-2008, 12:44 PM

my Audi roof seems to be fading in colour.. it spends its time mostly in the garage, but i have taken to a car wash twice & they have washed the roof... its seems like some of the colour is fading out, is there anything i can do to bring back the colour or protect it against further fading..

are there any products you recommend & where can i buy.

thank you.

Hi - I suppose, if someone has washed the roof then, not knowing what product they used, it may have something to do with why its faded.

I'm not sure that the canvass roof is supposed to be 'washed' in the same way the body work would be! But after some years I suppose it would get fairly grimey.

I have cleaned mine recently with Renovo. See here. The same people do a colour reviver. See here. I've not used this but I've read reviews that it has bought the roof to looking nearly new again!

Hope this helps
