BestGear Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Renovo?Thats the stuff... +1Check out ebay as its usually very cheap there.Make sure the roof is clean and dry before you start.Shake the bottle very well before you start.Dont apply when the roof is hot.Dont apply in direct sunlight.Dont apply if it looks like it might rain!Have some cloths around as some will get where you dont want it (and isopropyl alcohol ( not vodka ) removes it easily once its dry).Use a 2" brush.Well worth the 20mins it will take you!David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capa Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Don't be afraid to apply more than one coat either - I'm going to apply another tonight, weather pending, of course. You'd be well advised to get a hold of the 'Ultra Proofer' that they do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickLS7 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 My roof was dark blue which I never liked, I used black Renovo and was really impressed and still looks like it was the original colour after 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Likely it was black originally and faded over time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickLS7 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Renovo is the same consistency as water so makes a real mess. I recommend dust sheets on horizontal surfaces and masking tape and newspaper on the vertical ones unless you want to spend days polishing off black spots (or whatever colour) off you paint and windows.
