Hi Jim, Thank you for your very positive comments about Renovo products! We love to hear from our satisfied customers. RENOVO INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

Hi Tim, Renovo do not manufacture a Reviver beige colour variant as there are simply too many shades of beige for us to be able to keep all our customers happy. You have two options:- 1. Preserve your soft top's original colour by cleaning with Renovo Fabric Soft Top Cleaner and protecting with Renovo Ultra Proofer. Optimum protection will be achieved by applying Ultra Proofer approximately every six months. 2. Change the colour of your soft top to brown/black. It is possible to change the colour of your soft top from beige to brown/black using Renovo Soft Top Reviver. However Soft Top Reviver was developed to bring back the original colour, not change the colour and consequently there are risks involved with this process. It is not reversible and can take more than the two recommended coats but not more than three. It is imperative that the top is cleaned thoroughly, ensuring that any previously applied proofing product is removed, before applying the Soft Top Reviver. Renovo Fabric Soft Top Cleaner will remove most proofers if the severely soiled cleaning instructions are followed. If you are aware that another proprietary branded proofer has been applied it is best to contact their customer service department to ascertain how you should remove their proofer.

Hi David. The guy in the leather jacket is me, and I don't work for Renovo. I first reviewed the product as a staff journalist on a boating magazine after the company sent us a sample. 'It works on cars, how about boats?' they said. In our own trials, we found the colour restorer was great at reviving really badly faded canvas work - spray hoods, boom covers, awnings - even canvas shoes and bicycle panniers. Weathering effects are hard to reverse - particularly thread damage from UV or chafe - but what Renovo will do is recolour and re-waterproof the material so it appears (and behaves) as almost new again. Later, the company invited me to see it in action on a customer's car, so I asked if I could film it. The MD of the company demonstrated the product, I made the video and did a bit of presenting, especially after I saw what a transformation it achieved. . The only downside of the restorer, highlighted in the video, is it makes the canvas a little stiffer and also recolours any white stitching. I'm not sure what happened to your car, David, but I do know that if your fabric is an open canvas weave (not vinyl, or any rubberised coating) and providing you washed it well first (we had to get all the sea salt out of the boat canvas first) you should have had no trouble at all.

@@jakekavanagh7385 canvass a little stiffer??? Ive just paid £2500 for a new audi a5 roof. This stuff ruined it and they didn't give a shit!!! They said there must have been something in.my roof before using their product. Absolute rubbish my roof went brick hard and went all grey and brittle. My car looked a complete mess!!!! Dint try to tell me this stuff is actually good. You didn't have to pay 2 and a half grand for a new roof did you?

Hi Andrew - yes, it should work fine. What you can't do is go the other way, a dark colour to a lighter one (ie black to red). The dye will always darken (or enrich if similar) an existing colour. Clean it well first and then apply the first coat as you can see in the video. It will probably need a second coat for a perfectly uniform colour, but not necessarily. Remember, the stitching will get coloured too, and the material will be a little stiffer afterwards. The re-proofer is a good follow up once everything is dry. It's a colourless liquid that soaks in and seals up any small holes. (These usually occur around the stitching as it shrinks in old age,, like the rest of us!) Thanks for watching the video. Cheers. Jake

Hi Not Me - so glad you liked the video. Roger (the skipper, I just made the vid from his material) is a real inspiration. He found his Dehler a very fast boat, although oddly he felt she was a little lighter than most other 29-footers. The best boat is one you feel the most comfortable in, so it sounds like your Quintessence is a good match. As you can see from the footage, the D29 really picked up her skirts and flew when the wind picked up. Thanks again for your comments. Appreciated.
