Do NOT use the foam sponge applicator supplied. It’s messy and extremely wasteful! At least 40% of the product stays in the sponge and does NOT transfer to your top. Very wasteful!
I found 3 superior ways to apply the black dye.
1). Pour the dye into a separate container and use a paint brush. You have more control around the edges and no waste.
2). Pour the dye into a 4″ disposable paint roller pan & use a 4″ FOAM paint roller. (Make sure it’s a foam roller and not a cloth roller).
Both of these 2 processes give you better coverage than the supplied applicator.
My PREFERRED way to apply:
3). Use a spray bottle! Either buy a “throw-away” spray bottle or use an empty Windex or household cleaner spray bottle. Be sure to clean it thoroughly! Dilute the dye about 1/2 dye to 1/2 hot water. Mix or shake well. (Diluting the dye will not diminish or effect the desired finish). Use the spray bottle to spray the dye directly to the top. By using the spray bottle, you get better saturation / coverage and no waste. It also applies much faster and evenly with a spray bottle.
Be sure to keep a WET cloth handy for over spray and any drips. This dye is water soluble until dry, so wiping away drips while still wet is a snap.
As others have recommended, USE RUBBER GLOVES! This product is a permanent dye, and very difficult to get off your hands once dry.
I hope my experience with this product will help other with the application process.
For everyone who has asked; I used this dye to change the color of my canvas CLOTH TOP from TAN to BLACK!

Since we live in Florida, I am no fan of black convertible tops. We often have the top up on long drives in nice weather to protect our skin from the sun, and a black top makes the interior much hotter than a tan top. Black tops are also much more liable to fade from the sun than tan tops. So, when our new family member showed up with a very faded black top, I thought that I would see if this product, that claimed to restore faded tops, actually worked. I was skeptical before I tried it but I was amazed at the results! It went on easily and left an excellent restored finish with no streaks or splotches. It covered stains without leaving any trace. It did take more to do the job than the YouTube video stated, probably because this was a 27-year old Haartz cloth top that soaked up the product like a sponge. 1 1/2 bottles did the trick. The attached photo shows the before and after, with additional comments.

This product is amazing!!
I bought my car second hand and it had been parked under a tree that dropped pitch on the roof.
I had tried my hardest to scape the pitch off but it left tons on white dots all over. I googled to see if roof paint existed and found this product and read the reviews and watched the video and I cant believe how good it worked!.
I used convertible roof cleaner and then let the roof dry completely then went over it with a sticky lint roller to make sure there was no remaining dust or fibers.
I had some other green algae stains to by the back window that it completely covered and the roof looks absolutely brand new again!
I can not believe the transformation and I will be recommending to everyone I know with a convertible that’s for sure.
Note: Do wear gloves and clothing that is black as it can be messy and does stain skin.
It also took me 3 bottles for a convertible mini cooper roof. I did 2 full coats.

Best decision I’ve ever made for my 2001 vinyl top. I’ve only done one coat so far but will eventually do a 2nd after the next car wash. I used a regular paint brush and will use a roller for the 2nd coat. I can’t believe how brand new it looks, didn’t even get through an entire bottle for one coat. I highly recommend for vinyl tops. Don’t think this will be good on cloth tops. It dries pretty fast and evenly too.

I purchased this to protect my soft topper on my truck. I cleaned it and used the product and it worked perfectly. I would definitely purchase it again if I need to and I have since recommended it to other friends as well.

First off, let me say I wanted to do a review of this product since researching other reviews and forums is what led me to it – and convinced me to try it – in the first place. So, I hope it helps others in my similar predicament.
My first car was a Chrysler Lebanon convertible that bit the dust only 6 months after I got it. But for those 6 months, I had immense amounts of fun. I’ve wanted another convertible since. When my first son was born, I got a Mercury Mariner SUV to haul around all the things that come with children. It has been a fabulous vehicle with no big issues at all. After 9 years, 2 children, and 240,000 miles… the Merc has seen better days. Since the boys (9 and 7) don’t need as much gear these days, I believed I was due my “Mommy time” car. I found a great deal on a 2001 Ford Mustang convertible. It had a few minor issues we could fix ourselves, but was in swell condition otherwise for a 16 year old vehicle. Once all the obvious problems were solved, I took a look at the mildew stained, faded tan top.
I started off with the recommended convertible top cleaner and a mold/mildew remover, along with a power washer. This got the top pretty clean, but years old stains and fade still remained. So not knowing how much of this stuff I might need after my research, I bought the 2 pack here on Amazon. The day they arrived, my husband saw me open the box and gave me all kinds of flack about how it would never work and I was going to ruin the top… (He doesn’t value the power of research and reading like I do.)
I washed the top thoroughly at a car wash the night before applying this and gave it a once over with a wet rag the day of. The idea that some users mentioned of diluting it and spraying it on with a spray bottle would be a great option IF you cover and tape the car completely and can do it in an enclosed space. I planned on doing this, but did it on a mildly windy day outside and was too lazy to cover the whole car. After the first couple sprays, I was making a mess and decided to use the included sponge. The sponge worked well for me and did not separate as some folks mentioned. I never pressed too hard with it, though… Just went slow and steady with a sweeping motion. (From middle to edge, one half at a time.). I used a small paint brush around the trim and edges, and had a wet rag ready for the errors. AND GLOVES. WEAR GLOVES. The diluted first coat kind of scared me until it dried nice and even. Some of the tan showed through, but I had plenty of the gel left for more layers. It dried quick and I opened the other bottle to apply another coat at full strength. It goes on pretty quick and easy… About 5-10 minutes per coat. There was still some unevenness after the 2nd application, so I did a 3rd (full strength again with 2nd bottle) and hit the seams and edges good with the brush. I kept my sponge a little damp and just hit a few light spots I saw after it dried with that. The whole process took about 3-4 hours with me doing other things in between dry times, but the end result was awesome. My husband got home just as I was finished and had to bite the bullet, saying, ” well I guess it did work”. I cranked the top up and down a few times after drying to make sure there was no cracking and it moves with the vinyl material just fine.
I was going to cover with a top protectant, but sprayed a time or two and some color came off on the cloth I wiped it with, so don’t do that right away. I think it probably just needs to cure well… So I’ll try again in a couple days and report back. It has built in UV protection, so not worried about that. Will also report any rain issues, but I think it’ll be just fine once it sets in under the sun. It definitely looks better than the stained and faded tan, though.
I have enough left that I may add one more coat, but I think it is pretty good.
Make sure you wipe up any overspray, splashes, or drips as you go, but I was able to clean up some residual dot splashes on car body and windows just fine with a magic eraser.
Great product, really. Might save you from having to buy a new top for aesthetic reasons. Time and $$ on top. 🙂
