Hi guys, just a quick question, just wondered i took my canvas soft top off to revitilise the roof sort of speak and just wondered from you own experience, which is the best product for cleaning the plastic windows on the soft tops, i thought maybe Renovo, what do you think?

Many thanks all

Dont know if its endorsed by other members so dont try it until they confirm, but I used a sponge, elbow grease and a bit of Mr Muscle...[:D] Came up lovely!

I actually did my roof last night with blue renovo because my colour had faded badly, and its come up wonderfully. Im really pleased with the results.

If misty - ness in the windows is your problem then CIF Bathroon cream works wonders as a polish to bring them back to clear and its a hell of a lot cheaper than Renovo or other plastic polishes on the market.

If your re-colouring mohair though Renovo dye's are the only way to go.

Black shoe polish is good on vinal roofs.rub in well into stiched seams to stop leaks,puts on a nice shine and also repleswater.I was told this by a BL engineer manyy tears ago apparently it was done at the factory on marinas when they had vinal roofs fitted.This was his tip to stop water ingess though the stivhed seams.

I have used Renovo screen cleaner on my rear screen, did the job just fine but it's expensive stuff

I use a product called K Lux Plastic Cleaner. It works better than product I was using before (which I think was Maquire product). Not sure how it works on yellowed window as my 28 year old top windows are still clear.

Does any one know of a product that will soften stiff shrunk tops (and covers). Mine are both but still look like new so don't want to replace it. I've tried Maquires (with limited results) but not Renovo yet.

Blimey stevie never thought until i read the thread you posted just how many ordinary products do the required job, i 'll make a note of them all.

Thanks again

Yes, but look at the size of the bottle, to be fair though it goes a long way[:)]
