Good re-proofer?
Good re-proofer?
Hi all,
Its been 2 years since I proofed the hood on the Zed and the proofer is just about wearing off When I did it before I used the Autoglym Kit but made a boo boo when spraying the proofer and it dried all over the windscreen and paintwork I'm thinking this time to buy a 5 litre bottle of tent proofer and applying it with a brush.
Would a tent proofer be any different to say Autoglyn or Renevo's proofer? Would a tent proofer be a no no for the Zeds hood or be OK to use?
Thanks,
Tim.

slight off topic here, but a member on another forum i go on has been trying to sell an autoglym kit for a while, she wants £7 plus £2 postage, but may even be open to offers on it. might be of use to someone. i would have snapped it up, but already have a kit here unopened

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..
Because like you, I still have my Renovo grey colourant.TitanTim wrote:Cheeky so and so how did you guessgookah wrote:Grey hood???TitanTim wrote::I might redye the hood at the same time to match me hair

When I did my previous roof I bought the 1ltr, bit left in the bottle but I did about 4 coats.
You really have to be careful with the stuff though the consistency is like water so "run city" if you're not careful.
I loosened off the clamps on the roof then put old sheets all around the sides and front then masked off the back section with newspaper.
I let the majority of the sheets drape over my seats inside in case anything dripped from the top (my roof isn't lined), with about a foot draping outside for any runs down the windows.
Once done re-tension the roof to stop any gathering of the product on the back creases.
Watch for overlapping brush strokes as obviously it will be darker there.
At least you're going faded black to black, I went beige to dark green so I really took the plunge
Hope this helps

...........No Mods...... I like him just the way he is
Thanks Snoops, yes thats a great help I think I will just go for the litre of each, its a bit pricey though The hood probably doesn't really need dying but I think while I'm at it, it won't do any harm. I thought I would try using a brush this time and use some old sheets to cover the bodywork and glass not forgetting the rear screen. Last time I used the proofer I merrily sprayed away in a force 10 gale Took me days to get it all off the glass and paintworksnoops wrote:When I did my previous roof I bought the 1ltr, bit left in the bottle but I did about 4 coats.
