Technical Treating convertible roofs

[bmc]

Aside from products to clean and protect rag tops, are there any products to help restore colour in a top? The B I am considering has a red top and these can fade over time, if parked outdoors.

AutoGlym's Bumper Care restored my black one rather well.

Not vinyl tops. Mohair, I would use Renovo

Thanks for the replies.

I have found products for blue and black roofs, but nothing for red. Does anyone else here have a red roof? I wonder how much of a difference a scrub will do to bring up colour. Part of me thinks it may need more than that.

One last question.....is the roof on the B vinyl?

The original roof they were fitted with from the factory is vinyl however lots have been replaced with mohair ones.

Thanks for that. The I'm looking at is the silver LE with a red roof. Looking at online pictures, you'll see some that have faded to an almost brown colour. Others look almost dark pink. The one I'm considering is leaning towards brownish and I'd like to bring back some colour in it if I buy it. It's in good shape. The back window is fine. The roof looks oxidized and could use a good cleaning. I wonder if that will make a difference.

Appreciate the response.

But those mohair are probably not original part or are they?

AFAIK, original soft tops are made from Vinyl.
