[Quantum Owners] Waterproofing spray for hoods?

2013-11-19 Thread MatthewG
Hi all,

The recent wet weather isn't doing my Q much good. So, when I saw a Sony 
phone that has some kind of nanocoating that makes it waterproof, that got 
me thinking.

I've seen fabric sprays that make water just bead up and run off. I 
wondered if any of you out there had tried one of those on a Q2+2's roof. 
I'm thinking that the less water soaks into the fabric on mine, the less 
will drip into the car from the corners where the roof meets the top of the 
windscreen. Have any of you successfully tried one of these sprays?

Matthew

I tried the one that Aldi get in occasionally and it seemed to work well 
but they all lose performance over time. The original black liquid that 
I used on my first 2+2 worked well but did mark when the hood was folded 
which probably isn't too much of an issue at this time of year. The name 
escapes me at present but I may still have the tin in the garage.

Hi,

I use the autoglym fabric hood cleaner and conditioner kit, every September 
time on my Elan, same type of
hood, luckily my H4 isnt a fabric roof.

There are plenty of water proofers, but they all wear off in months rather than 
years, and the older the hood
gets, the more the fabric stretches, and becomes more breathable, and prone to 
seeping the rain through, so as it gets older may be worth doing twice a year 
rather than just the once?
