Convertible hoods fade over time — black becomes grey-brown, navy bleaches out. Specialist fabric dye penetrates the weave and restores deep, even colour. Not a surface coating that peels — permanent restoration. From £150, at your door.

A faded soft top cannot be cleaned back to its original colour — the UV degradation is within the fabric fibres, not on the surface. Specialist fabric dye works differently from paint: it penetrates into the weave, not onto it, so the hood continues to flex, fold and operate normally. The result looks factory-original and lasts years.
Soft top recolouring requires thorough preparation. Dye applied to a dirty or coated surface will not bond correctly.
Hood cleaned with specialist fabric cleaner and any existing sealant or coating stripped. This preparation stage is critical — dye cannot bond correctly to a contaminated or coated surface. Hood left to dry fully.
Fabric dye worked methodically into the hood using a soft brush — seams, channels, and the main fabric areas. The dye penetrates the fabric weave rather than sitting on top. First coat establishes the base colour.
Second and third coats applied progressively — each allowed to partially dry between applications. This builds even, deep colour and covers any patchiness from uneven original fading.
Re-proofing sealant applied over the finished dye. Restores water repellency and helps protect the dye from UV degradation. Hood should not be operated until fully cured — typically 2–4 hours.
Priced by hood size and condition. Larger hoods and more severe fading require more product and time.
