Hello,

My targa top looks like hell. I'd like to refinish it. I'd like to get rid of the pebbled finish and have it smooth, but not sure of the best way to make that happen.

Looking for advice? What has worked for you?

FYI - I did the truck bed liner stuff a few years ago, and the results didn't last.

TIA

I hadn't thought of using something like aircraft stripper. Interesting. Thanks!
