What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The instructions say to use Renovo Fabric Soft Top Cleaner first, apply with a new 5cm/2inch paintbrush, avoid direct sunlight, never dilute or mix the reviver with another product, and allow it to dry between coats. They recommend 24 hours before applying Renovo Ultra Proofer. The listing separately gives a dry time of 1 and a full cure time of 24 Hours, while the instructions describe approximately three hours of drying depending on conditions. These timings are inconsistent, so allow for conditions and confirm the appropriate wait before use. The listing also describes the product as water resistant while stating it is not waterproof.
