I've used both the Autoglym and Renovo cleaners and never been able to get rid of every bit of green and it always seems to come back.
I've used the rough sponge supplied with the Autoglym kit with both products. Spray it on, rub it well in then rinse thoroughly and dry off with a drying towel. Always looks great until it's totally dry but then there's always a hint of green left in the weave.
A month or so back I was browsing Poundland (other downmarket outlets are available) and I spotted a bottle of Milton's Fluid. I remember reading someone recommending it for hood cleaning so bought a bottle. Mixed it at around 10-1 and gave it a go. Again there was a little bit of green left afterwards but certainly no worse than with the 'proper' stuff. What did seem different was that the difficult to get at bits at the bottom front corners and along the seams didn't look bad at all.
Fast forward to today and there didn't seem to be any build up of greenery around the bottom edge. I've gone through the same process again today and now it looks the best ever. I'm thinking that the sterilising agent may be leaving something in the weave that is preventing further build up of algae.
Of the three products I've used it's by far the cheapest, readily available and I'm very happy with the results.
