Hi folks,

My rear black hood on my S3 has faded a lot over the years and lets the car down on appearance a bit. Does anybody know or recommend any particular product on the market best to 're-darken' the material? No rips or any nasties on the hood so don't really want to splash out on having re-covered just yet.

Cheers Neil.

Renevo is good, but to post 3 times? hehe

Sadly, the tail of the tornado passed through earlier, my conservotory roof and ny brother in law'a van windscreen have been destroyed by hail! Roof looks like a minigun assualt.

One, yes just one, hail stone went through my wedge rear screenfrown

I don't think Renevo will fix this!

Hi Steve thank yousmile

Nobody was hurt so insurance will deal with it all ao it's just a pain. I was at work but they're saying the air went so grey with swirling rain and hail they couldn't see the grass or anything. Only lasted 6-7 minutes and it's glorius now.
