Re: Hood Cleaning
I found the AG worked well but only got 2 applications out of the protector, plenty of cleaner left so just got myself some 303, going to try that next weekend.

I've been recommended to use Fabsil Gold waterproofer.
Anyone used this (and can it be mixed with liquid shoe polish) ?

I don’t see why not, some on here have used it.
I used liquid shoe polish with the Autoglym protector.

Gave it a go. Fabsil gold produces an emulsion with the shoe polish, so needed quite a bit of shaking to get it to mix. Seems to have done a decent job and the roof looks fresher.
I'm wondering if there is a solvent based black die that would mix in better with the Fabsil (without damaging the roof fabric).

yeah, I’ve used both kits, both are really good but I’d say the autoglym is a slightly better cleaner, it lifted small marks better and had a bit more of a foam to it. The protector spray in both kits was pretty much the same, I didn’t notice much, if any difference in beading between the two.Roman Clogs wrote: ↑Sat Feb 20, 2010 7:09 pm Has anyone used both the Autoglym product and the proper BMW one and can say which is best? I read a comment somewhere that the BMW one keeps the rain beading off for a year.

I have used Fabsil Gold on a Boxster and it worked a treat. For mildew/mould etc I remember reading about using disinfectants to stop the mould growing/returning etc. I want to say Milton fluids that's used for babies bottles etc but I would need to research and confirm!
