If the top is really bad you could use VHT Vinyl dye - Autobarn stocks it - I have used it on a blue roof (comes in a range of colours) - one can was enough - result was an improvement - but still not like new. Having said that you have to clean the roof well before you apply the dye (mild soap and water and a lot of scrubbing) - which may get the result you want anyway - then use 303 to protect it.

Sliq, have you seen my top after a fresh squirt of autoglym? Comes out lookin fantastic. Requires a squirt every 2-3 weeks to keep it up and let it soak it without rain for a day or two.

hey, iv been using 303 aero protectant for my tyres interior and vinal soft top for ages and it makes the car look amazing

i also have two chamis i use when drying the car after washing as the 303 can leave an oily residue on the duco, its also good to dry your roof asap if its wet as you'l have to wash it more often (i read this in my owners manual).

Never use the cheap sh*t like armorol on your roof as it contains silicon which never breaks down (especialy on you tyres as you'll lose grip in the wet)
