Hiya,
I completly agree with Dawn! I don't really have any car cleaning experience apart from I love cleaning my car and making it all sparkly!

Yes I used a paint brush, you put the black liquid in a container and then paint it on. I did do from one side, and then went around and did the other side leaning over as far as I could. I did all the strokes in the same direction and everything to try and make it look good and followed the instructions really making sure the liquid was evenly applied and covered all of the surface and pile.
It proably did dry a bit in between doing sides but we are only talking 5/10 mins, maybe you should do a stroke each side and keep running around? I dont know?
Here are some after pictures but they dont really show the line, you can only very possibly slightly see it on the head on picture but its not very clear.
The Autglym is good! Really go with that first!
I know how you feel with wanting to make it look brand new again, that's exactly why I went for the renovo, just be very careful if you do decide on it as its a real pain to fix if it goes wrong! We even tried going over it again, my boyfriend is 6'5 so could reach all the way over the roof (I know I should have got him to help me first
) so no line in the middle this time but even with a second coat you could still see the original streaks through! But renovo do have good products like the rear screen stuff, this is ace so would agree with the MX5 guys there!
I would say the Autoglm did a pretty good job, I only bought mine at two years old so cant say it looked like new but when I cleaned it the first time some bits came up green with the soap suds so it really needed a clean! and it looked good after, better than the roofs of other streetka's I saw about!
I found using a soft clothes brush good too for inbetween washed as mine seemed to attract those dandylion seed floaty things in the summer! Just brushing it and getting the dust off could really bring the roof up a treat on its own without the need for washing at all
Hope this helps, let us know what you decide
