Funny you should mention this Adam. Mine was covered in mould. I got the Polish to clean the hood, made it worse as now the green was really noticeable

So I got a toothbrush, a cloth and while hood was still wet spent an hour brushing the fuck out of it.

Looks ruckjng amazing now

Autoglym kit from Halfords, or Renovo from eBay

It will require effort to a certain extent though - they aren't self cleaning and have to be maintained!

Heard nothing but good things about both products above!

However mine was free as I used an old airline free toothbrush and elbow grease. My hood is still blacker than Kris Akabusi so doesn't need a renovate just yet but will invest in the future I think.
