:( What a beautiful day to try and get the horrid green mould of my lovely Z :p
It was embarrassing to drive :(
I've tried my hardest with the products I found in the shed :p
This is the result :)
It's not perfect but its better than its was ;)
And at least the Z got a good clean as well ;)
I'll go to halfords at the weekend and see what I can buy to get a better result :)
Now I need some good hand cream as my hands have gone rough lol :)
I do feel embarrassed showing you my green roof :)
But here goes ....... :)

Before ........ :(

get yourself some renovo

3 part kit

- cleaner
- dye
- sealant

worked wonders for me
 
I used the renovo cleaner today :p
That's what was in the shed :)

I'll have to get some dye :)
We're also got the sealant :)

But it I dye the roof will the horrid green still come through if I can't get it all off ;)
Thanks for you help @5harp3y :p
 
might be worth another go, i did mine 3 times with the cleaner to get rid of the green
 
Ok @5harp3y :p
I'll try again next week :)
And I'll get the dye at the weekend :)
Hopefully it will come up a treat ;)
 
Use a fabric cleaner once perfectly clean reproof the top with either Renovo proofer or Fabsil proofer.
If tops not fade I would not advise the dye not unless it's the last option on badly faded tops.
The mould might need to be agitated with a soft brush.
Make sure proofing is done on dry day allowing a good few hours to dry and seal.

@Shelly your naughty letting your roof get into that state! I'll let you off to as it's looking something like it should now. Poor poor zeddy weddy!! :D
 
Really ....... Fabric cleaner :p
Any kind :)

My roof hasn't faded it's just gone green :(
And I don't like it ........ :(
I want a lovely black roof again :)
 
Just seen halfords mentioned Autoglym do a cabriolet hood kit cleaner and proofer in a kit.
But be aware proofer is a spray so u need to mask paint windows it can be a pain especially if windy.
I use renonvo or Fabsil proofer pour into an old ice cream tub use a nice paint brush to apply quicker easier less mess.
Any splashes remove asap from windows paintwork.

Yes I know Dave :p
We do clean our Z on a regular basis :)
But the roof is getting worse ;)
We do the roof and within a couple of weeks it's back like that again :(
 
Soak it with Milton mixed 1 part Milton to 10 parts water work it into the fabric with a soft brush and leave for 15 Minutes and the use plenty of water to rinse, you need to kill the spores of the algae (its not mould) before you seal it or it will keep coming back and mark the fabric.

I did buy some Milton :p
But I was frightened to use it just in case......... :)
I ended up with a white and black roof ( because of the bleach ) :)
I was thinking of using white vinegar =))
As its good for lots of things ;)

Have you got a free day to come and put your skills into action Mark :p
( only joking )
 
Yes as mentioned get shot of the green stuff before sealant.
Sealant should keep it cleaner for longer .
Re seal on outside regular useage cars twice a year or at the very least once a year.

If we get a nice day next week ( my day off work ) :p
I'll do the Milton ;)
Hopefully it will work ;)
I'd go and do it now but I'm at work in a few hours :)
And also I've just cleaned the Z :)
 
Dilute it down and don't leave on for no more than 15 minutes, and then hose down with plenty of water. Then clean and proof.

Done mine last year using Milton and Autoglym cleaner and proofer, hood still looks like new, no sign of the dreaded Algae.
