Designed to be used after thorough cleaning, the Reviver bonds to fabric fibres to replenish pigment and improve appearance. It’s available in several deep shades and works on a range of textile substrates including double duck, mohair and traditional canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I prepare a soft top before using Soft Top Reviver?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreparation is essential for an even, long-lasting finish. Remove dirt, grease and any prior waterproofing so the Reviver can penetrate fibres uniformly.
