Can you recolour my convertible roof?
Convertible Roof Cleaning & Restoration

Our Specialist cabriolet hood restoration service was developed over 20 years, into a process which restores and protects your soft-top.
Cabriolet/Convertible roofs are tough to keep clean and prone to fading. Fabric hoods usually attract mould and moss. Without protection, you can expect an unmaintained convertible hood on a cabriolet to last on average around 6-8 years before it will need replacing.
Have your hood cleaned by a convertible roof specialist
The majority of people come to us because their convertible roofs have been neglected, they haven't been regularly maintained or cleaned.
This neglect leads to the hood becoming covered in green algae, moss, mould or lichen and when left untreated to the elements the fabric can deteriorate rapidly. Unfortunately, if left unmaintained the rotting process begins and when reaching a point of no return it will create further problems such as water leaks and functional issues.
Recovery and restoration of the existing hood will no longer be possible and will inevitably lead to an expensive convertible hood replacement, costing anything between £500 - £3000. In order to avoid costly hood replacements, regular cleaning, protection and maintenance is essential.
Weather Protection & Fabric Hood Proofing
Weather protection with Renovo Ultra Proofer or our Vädervakt Nano-Proofer
Brand-new fabric soft tops come with an invisible 'weather proofer' already applied and over time this special coating deteriorates and needs replacing leaving your soft top roof unprotected from the elements becoming weak and more prone to damage.
We offer a varied range of convertible hood protection products including, Renovo® Ultra Proofer and Vädervakt 2-Year Nano-Proofer. These dedicated convertible hood products protect your convertible/cabriolet hood by creating an invisible chemical, waterproof barrier. The barrier prevents discolouration from ingrained dirt, tree sap, bird droppings, road salts and much more from penetrating into the fibres and doing damage to the convertible hood material.
Cabriolet hood protection products have a specially developed formula which contains Ultra Violet (UV) inhibitors and agents to prevent mould and mildew and prolongs the life of your soft top whilst maintaining the value of your car.
Our Cleaning Process.
Before Ultra Proofer is applied, your convertible hood is washed and brushed using a variety of specialist tools and hood cleaning products, and then dried. Your car will also be given a quick wash so that you won't be collecting a dirty car with a clean roof -- there may even be a special offer meaning your exterior is detailed and given a coat of sealant. This level of service is ideal for most cars that are no more than a few years old where the hood is reasonably free from mould, moss and lichen. For the older, dirtier hoods you may also require a Hood Machine Clean.
Your hood is cleaned, dried, re-proofed and then dried again, so in normal circumstances you will be required to leave your car with us for a minimum of 4 hours. Please be mindful to allow extra time if the weather is unfavourable and experiencing rain, as it is vitally important that the hood is properly dried before returning the car to you. Take a look at some of the cabriolets we have already cleand and weatherproofed.

2 Year Nano-coating Protection
We can also provide Vädervakt two stage protective and hydrophobic coating which contains antimicrobial agents. The nano particles coat the fibres of your fabric hood, providing extended durability. It lasts for two years and also has the added benefit of darkening your roof and giving it a silky sheen. You can see the difference.

If you have a new or fairly new car and just want weather proofing, then you will just need a quick clean and the weatherproofing. Otherwise, you will most likely require a machine-clean and weather protection. Recolouring is seldom needed.

*Pipe flush and drainage checkup - If drainage pipes are found to be blocked, we will unblock them if we can. However on some models of cars they might also be missing, broken or damaged due to age, or need dismantling to diagnose the problem.
**If you have a new roof, or a new car, and you want it protected, we don't need to machine clean it because it won't yet be dirty. However, we will need to give it a light wash to remove any dust, and we will need to dry it because protective coatings can only be applied to a dry roof.
"Great service, I keep a soft-top outdoors so for me the New Again service is a no-brainer. The hood looks great and water beads off." ~ Marc
