What have listers found to be the best stuff to clean up a hood?

Its rather faded (ie not black - more mid-grey) - and I have no idea
what it's made of. Its at home (as opposed to my depressing student
house) - Im going back on Friday for the weekend - as the weather has
been fantastic here over the past couple of days, I'm going to put it on
for the first time ever (I imagine there's a technique that takes a few
goes to get right) - I've only ever driven it with the hard top on! So
as you can imagine Im rather excited - having only been in any car with
its top down once (that was the first Spit I looked at) It may well
still snow (it's happened before) - but I don't care anymore - everyone
is driving with the top down around here now and Im jealous.

I've seen the Autoglym kit and it costs #20! Seems rather expensive.
Though it does come with a sponge and stuff. They didnt sell it on its
own strangley.

And just out of interest - how long does it take to put the thing
down/up. Im just working out the whole short distance drive to hood
up/down ratio...  I doubt its worth it for the 5 minute drive to college
:) Maybe at the start though...
