Stu (or anyone else who can help),
Since you're into classic cars, I thought you might be able to help me.
This new (used) car I bought has a black fabric convertible top that needs a bit of a touch-up. I bought a convertible cleaner and that did a great job at getting the dirt out, but it has some faded/worn spots and streaks. I've been looking at restoration products on the internet, but the only one that I found to restore the color (along with waterproofing) is over $100. 98% of the top has good color, so I really just need a touch-up product that will simply put the black back. Our local autoparts store guys look at me like I'm crazy when I ask about it, and a couple of people have suggested black shoe polish... any thoughts?
