RenovoInternational RUP1114 Ultra Proofer 1 Litre, Neutral

As other reviews say, this is really effective. Seeing rainwater bead up and roll off is very satisfying!I've been using this stuff for years, and after some experimentation I find the easiest way to apply it is with a small sponge. The first coat is easy enough, but by the time you try to apply the second coat the roof is already pretty waterproof, so the new coat tends to bead and run off. Using a sponge causes the second coat to be absorbed with minimum faff.

What an amazing product which is so easy to use and quick to apply. The second coat is more difficult to do than the first (if you choose to do two coats), because of course all it wants to do is run off due to the hydrophobic nature of the first coat you have put on. Amazing amazing amazing. I also used the black roof colour that they supply first as well. Literally looks better than new. So easy.

Easy to apply the first coat, rather more tricky applying the second as the first makes the fabric waterproof, however once done the proofer is invisible and seems to be effective, raindrops stay as beads on the surface rather than soaking into the fabric.I bought a 1 Litre pack which is enough for two good coats on a Mazda MX-5 roof, leaving plenty to spare for a further top-up coat if I need to do it before the next winter season sets in. Tip - use an nice new 3 inch brush to apply the proofer to avoid any paint residues ending up in the fabric!

Very happy with the quality and finish. I purchased 0.5 litre which was enough for a 6 series BMW roof - 1 coat with a little bit leftover. I put it on nice and thick, and after 2 coats of the black roof die. I needed 1ltr of the roof die for 2 coats.I used the cleaner first then the die followed by sealer. 3 stage kit. I followed the instructions and used a new 2” brush for each stage. The cleaner then die before the waterproof and sealer (last stage) which offered a great total job. 3 stages took a while including drying but very happy with the end result.

I have been using fabsil up to now but this is much better than the basic fabsil. Putting the 2nd coat on is interesting as the first waterproofs it so well that it is hard not to get the 2nd coat beading and running off! Take it slow and brush any runs asap.The finished roof looks great and should bead rain nicely and reduce mildew growth and staining of the fabric.Recommended.

I love the majority of Renovo products - I recently used their cleaner, reviver and waterproofer products for my car's annual roof maintenance schedule.The cleaner is I think the only soft-top cleaner that contains anti-mildew and mould inhibitor, so can help stop green spots from appearing on your roof.The reviver transforms your faded soft-top to a nice deep black again.However the Ultra Proofer reviewed here doesn't really seem that effective - I gave it the required number of coats and rather than seeing the water bead off even after a prolonged downpour, my roof was saturated (not really a problem as it has an impermeable layer underneath, but it's nice to see it running off!)I followed this up with a couple of coats of Fabsil Gold, and now the water beads off perfectly even after it's rained all night - in fact it's a pain as when you open the door and get in all the droplets collect and you get wet. :)I'd recommend you try this and if it works for you great, but bear in mind you might get better results from Fabsil Gold.

The media could not be loaded.  OK, this stuff is brilliant. I have never used a product lke this, never even thought about it. I just assumed the soft top on my convertible was meant to go damp and dry out as the sun hit it. Hey, I never got wet inside so why would I worry? But this stuff is amazing, it's like putting a plastic shell over your roof which has been polished. I painted my convertible top in about 40 minutes, out of direct sunlight. When it dried I threw a glass of water over it and was amazed - the water literally raced off the top of it! I will try and post a video as I was amazed, this stuff is so simple to paint on (use a normal 2 inch paint brush, or smaller or larger - size really doesn't matter) and let it dry.Tips:Paint from the middle outDon't paint in direct sunlightIF YOU ARE THINKING OF DOING THE ROOF DYE REPAIR., DO IT ******BEFORE****** YOU APPLY THIS STUFF.This product will bead any liquid you put onto a soft top after application, it is brilliant. A 500ml bottle does a medium soft top with a bit left over.Finally make sure you clean it off the paintwork afterwards - you can polish it off but its a pain so catch it quickly.Update April 2016 -I have just re-waterproofed my roof using this great stuff again. I should really have done it last year as it seems that the waterproofing lasts about 1 season, but ran out of time. By way of update I got 500ml to do two coats of the roof again, I think 1 litre as recommended would be overkill. I applied the first coat, waited 4 hours then did a second using a paint kettle and 2 inch brush. To get the proofer to cover the roof you have to "splot" the brush a bit onto the roof and then when it starts to soak in you can spread it with the brush. Again, make sure you don't let the stuff get on the paintwork. This time when it happened I immediately diluted with water and then used a chamois to get off.I have uploaded a couple of pics showing how I applied it, wrapping a dust sheet around the car, with a before pic showing how soaked the roof was normally and an after pic, plus a quick video of just how good this stuff is. It also helped to have the roof raised slightly off of the A pillar so the proofer didn't drip onto the windscreen and caught on a sheet on the inside instead.

The roof of my car was thinning out which happens going through wind, rain and lots of sun. This protects very well and roof almost looks new. I couldn't find a similar product or this one anywhere else but online. I recommend for people with convertibles.

j'ai traité 3 capotes (smart, triumph spitfire et fiat 500) et le résultat est excellent
