Pleased with the results of my black soft top was going bit grey, aged etc but like new now manage do two coats with it which was obviously better result , easy to apply too. You just have to be careful applying it because it's a thin liquid dye and can drip or run but wipes of easy and dries quick .

I had a Mercedes CLK with a blue soft top, which didn't quite match the silver bodywork. So I used this product to not only restore, but to change the actual colour of the soft top fabric to black.I followed the instructions, firstly masking off the car with commercially available paint drop-sheet plastic and masking tape (well worth doing first so as to prevent dye spots on the paintwork), then using a soft paintbrush to apply the restorer. It took 3 coats to achieve the satisfactory black finish, but the result is great. I finished off by applying 2 coats of waterproofing spray agent to protect the fabric finish and to mak the sot top weatherproof. All in all, a great result.

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

Used other products to first clean and revitalise roof on my 27 year old Saab convertible bought new in 1996. Over time have tried to keep roof in as good a condition as possible. Roof remains in one piece and fairly good condition but living out in the “sticks” do get a lot of green on the roof from trees etc. Do mainly keep in my garage though. Anyway based on reviews took a chance on this product. As I said used two other products from another manufacturer to get roof as clean as possible and ready for this to be put on. Choose a dry day with no rain forecast the following day. My roof still had some green from trees etc. on it so was hoping this product would cover everything. Should not have worried as the black “paint” covered everything perfectly and gave a great covering all round. Just make sure you do roof in one go. I did one side of roof then went round to other side immediately to do that to avoid any paint lines. Use a soft bristle brush that is normally used for gloss paint and did have enough to go over all areas again. Could you use a gloss roller? Possibly but you would not get into the corners of the roof very well and this is where I had the green from trees etc. It covered them and everything perfectly. As you go round though doing the “painting” make sure you have plenty of rags. This is to wipe any running paint off glass and bodywork immediately as it states could become hard to remove if left too long on paintwork. 100% coverage and all green from trees etc. totally covered. After leaving for a day or so then put a final protection coat (different product) on top of paint and roof really looks nearly new. I knew it had done a good job as when out driving saw someone turn round and take a second look at car. They must have thought that roof looks great for a “P” regd. enough said. The whole process of using various cleaners, final black paint and then protection product was hard work but results totally worth it.

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.

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.

Wear gloves! Hands came clean using pumice soap & water- instructions regarding clean-up on bottle are 'brief'.The Convertible Soft Top Canvas Restorer in Black applied easily using a 2'' foam brush and a small tray. Applied outdoors at 12C . Clean-up while still wet was easy, required some effort (nothing major- just a vigorous rub with a clean cloth) to clean from paint once dry.Dried to an even, black finish. Excellent 'like-new' effect with no streaks or splotches- nothing at all to indicate that the top hadn't just been replaced by a new one. There is enough Restorer left to do another small (Porsche) convertible top completely again should that be necessary.Overall quite satisfied with the result which nicely undid the appearance of 'fading' caused by inappropriate water-proofing agent.Have happily discovered an 'off-label' use. If carefully applied it nicely restores the finish on leather steering wheels!

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.

I was very pleased with the Protex products. After applying the conditioner I put the water proofing on and had the finished product. It was enough to do a convertible top on a four seater. The top is 12 years old and looks new. Water beads very well after the treatment.

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.
