I have a blue roof on my cab which was very grubby. I used stuff from *********, came in a cardboard box, was about 17 quid and I THINK was made by simoniz. It came in two spray containers - one to clean and one to reproof afterwards. I wasn't expecting much as my hood was really manky, but was pleasantly surprised. Its not immaculate, but recognisably blue! I think the amount of work you put in during the cleaning cycle is directly proportional to the results. I used one of the sponges made for cleaning glass and worked in small sections. Took about an hour, and it made a real difference. The reproofing spray could just be sprayed on without rubbing in or other prep, once the roof had been cleaned.
I'd give it 7.5/10. I was expecting it to be 5/10.
