Roof Refinishing

I used this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=201546700435 on the roof and all the other external black vinyl/plastic finish on the car and it looks absolutely superb. You can even use it inside on the dashboard. I was really pleased with the end result. The roof on my original black car was looking a bit faded and this brought it back to almost brand new condition. Money well spent.

That looks good but not sure how to use it.... Fancy popping down to Donny to show me sure once you have done my roof and bumper I'll be able to do it myself next time....

Ordered some

It really only takes about ten minutes to do all the black bits on the car. It's quite thick and goes on very easily with a dry cloth, it then just polishes off leaving a brand new finish. I'm beginning to sound like an advert. I've offered to do Geoff's for him while he fits new uprated headlight bulbs to my car. He's already done his and reckons they are a noticeable improvement.

I can make a cake......

Changed my lamps, well nice guy at the garage did.

Did you give your roof a going over Barbs ? Wondered what you thought of the stuff.

Not yet been off sick since Tuesday currently got cabin fever only been as far as the bin since Monday night.

Hope you feel better soon Barbs!!!

Thanks Sheila. Xx just hope I didn't pass it on to you 2. Xx

You need to get yourself sorted out for Christmas.

I'm trying. Also trying to avoid contact with mates as the last thing I want is to be responsible for passing it on for Christmas. Got cabin fever now only been as far as the bin since Monday.

We seem to be alright.... Touch wood... Hope it isnt food poisioning? X

No it's flu symptoms we will live but I need to see the outside world again. Luckily I was getting organised for Xmas

@Strawberry Blonde this is the product I mentioned

Someone mentioned about cleaning products for the roof and I remembered Al talking about this product.

Hi! 

I appreciate I'm looking at this post 5 years on, so not surprised the link to the product to restore the roof to black doesn't work, but does anyone have a product they use that can restore a faded finish of the roof ?

Hi Keith

I've found that "Carplan Black trim wax" works really well on the roof and on the plastic surround of the high level brake light.
It gets better the more coats, and although it needs a re-apolication every few months or so, it has made a noticeable difference to my roof and outside trim
