Subject:      oxidation on a dark-colored pop-top: any consensus on a solution?

I have a 1990 Multivan with a burgundy-colored Westy top.  It's oxidized
through the years and, because of its dark color, doesn't look very good.
I've asked various professionals about a fix for the problem, but no one
seems to have a solution.


Apparently (according to a body shop) painting won't work.  Buffing the
finish can cause further damage, according to a detailer.


Is there any consensus within this group of how to make a dark-colored
pop-top look good again?
