Javier, I highly recommend, staying away from the Scotch Brite pad, or sandpaper, unless of course your ready to refinish the top, in your cleaning frenzy---- You will inevitably will remove whatever finish there is left of the jell-coat, and leave the surface of the poptop open, (scratched) causing you mucho grief---- If you want the grey out of the top---get ready------ rent, borrow an electric buffer, along with some 3-M super heavy duty rubbing compound, and buff the hell out of it, finishing it off with a couple coats of premium wax. This sounds like that this is going to be your only solution to removing the oxidation. Have Fun----- ______________ |[ ] [ ] [ ]\ | | | | ~~~ ~||-(())----(())-| Terry-- 74 Campmobile- (Clementine) 85 GL- (Delilah) 86 BMW 325 ES- (Eva) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "In life, it is much better to want something you cannot have--- Than to have something you can't get rid of" (T.K.1979) |
