jonnwhite Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hey everyone, So my Cabby is now ready to go on the road next week end! However i have a rather green roof. It's a Mohair roof which i've read is the better one? We tried the Autoglym Clean and protection stuff the foam coming off was green/grey/a horrible colour and it seems of to dulled it down however the roof is still black with green algae spots. What can i use to kill the algae, wash it off and then seal the roof from rain etc and stop it coming back or slow it down so i can get rid of it easier. Don't mind it taking a couple of goes but i'd like to get it black again. At the weekend when it's out of the garage ill try to get some pictures of the green stuff. Thank you! Jon.

Ian71 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I had a similar problem with my mk5 roof.i had to give it two coats,but even then there were still some some spots showing. I also found it made the roof a bit Chrispy. I have managed to get a replacement second hand roof and when I fit it I am going to take it and have it cleaned by a specialist.

gingergman Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 use renovo, i brought a cab that had been sat unused outside for 5 years, the roof was filthy, it came up like new after using this on it, they do kits on ebay with a good brush and buckets etc, I also re-dyed mine, although to be honest using just the cleaner would of been enough. theres guides on youtube too. seriously good stuff worth buying!

Himanshu Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Spray Oxyclean on the roof at the correct ratio (stated on the tub). and rinse thoroughly. Then apply a good protectrant to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
