PROTEXWorld Convertible Soft Top Canvas Restorer Black 1ltr. - Colour Restores Like New

Made my 2004 mustang convertible top look new. Super easy to apply. Did 3 coats and only used half the bottle. Check out the before and after shots.

I have a black convertible beetle with a 14 year old canvas top. Though I have kept it under roof for most of its life, It started to look a little tired and started leaking (actually, it would soak up rain like a sponge). I watched videos on this product and decided to buy. I bought two 500ml bottles, which covered the top nicely with a little left over for touch-ups. If you have a larger top than a beetle, you will need to buy another bottle to cover. I had to use gloves because it looks and feels like an ink. However, when I cleaned up afterward, it washed off with soap and water. All of my seams and one place I had to repair with twine stained well and looks like a new top. I am still in the process of sealing it with the waterproofer product. I will post photos when I am completely finished.

Easy to apply and makes the top on my pontiac solstice look like new.

I purchased one bottle to do the top on my two-door BMW and it was not enough. I was able to stretch it out to cover the entire roof, But... While the improvement was considerable, I could see splotchy patches and wear the coverage was uneven. I bought a second bottle and that even everything out. My top doesn't look quite new but still quite nice. I'll will give it a few more days to be sure it's thoroughly dry and see if a third bottle will seal the deal. The seller recommends using two bottles, by the way, and has a better price when you buy a two-pack.

Used 2 coats and didn’t restore the discolored areas. Disappointed, thought product would dye the those areas. But you could still see it.

I have nothing to lose, my wife didn't like the tan top and wanted to switch to black, after researching getting a new black top ($300 used and much more for new that's if I install) I looked at Protex World Convertible Soft Top Canvas Restorer Black to see if I could just use this. I had already deep cleaned the top really well so it was stain free and looking great, my wife still wanted black. I purchased one quart of Black.I did three coats of black, I let the 1st coat dry for 3 hours then applied second, that dried over night, third coat went on the next night. results speak for themselves see before and after pictures.The corvette top was very easy to work with and tape off, I loosened the top handles slide newspaper under seals and used old towels on truck portion, taped off windows and used a cheap brush (if I had to do it again I'd get a nicer brush bristles came off here and there had to pick them off) and started in the center of the top and work your way to front and sides. The first coat the top was loose (my thought was maybe being loose the fabric would soak in more color), the second and third coat I tightened as if I were to drive it.If I had to do it again I would have ordered the package dye and sealer and save $5.00, so now sometime before I get it out of storage I need to order up the sealer.I used three coats with one quart container and still have some left over.So in short, you can not see any Tan fabric at all, this is a summer car (3rd car along with a motorcycle), so the top should be down most of the time, if however I need to touch up or put another coat on I will, this will save me hundreds of dollars, just my thoughts.

Top looking brand new again

My convertible top is 12 years old and in good condition. I attempted to use the brush, as instructed. I stopped using this method after a couple of minutes. I went thru the dye at an alarming rate. I have a two seater convertible. The bottle indicates that one bottle will cover a four seater convertible. I'm guessing that I would have needed 4 bottles using the brush method, (for two coats). This probably depends upon the condition of the convertible top to not absorb water. The convertible top sucked up the product, it did not allow the opportunity to spread this product around.My solution, that other products endorsed, was to use a polishing sponge wrapped in a clean (lint free) cloth. I dipped this into the dye and rubbed this into the convertible top. Applying the dye in a cross hatch pattern (vertically, then horizontally), over small areas at a time .I applied a second coat in the same manner. I have maybe two ounces left in the first bottle at the end of applying the second coat.I am very happy with the results. Since, I taped the car off and protected the paint/glass with plastic drop cloths, I moved on straight to applying the water proofer.Suggestions:1. Use painter tape and the throwaway contractor drop cloths to cover exposed paint, plastic, and glass areas around the convertible top.2. Use a Lint Remover roller, to remove hair, lint, and pollen, after the canvas has been cleaned and dried.3. Save some solution at the end of the process. For example, to dye areas that you cannot get to when the convertible top is up.
