The original owner used black shoe polish on the top and valances. This looks great for about 10 minutes to a few days, depending on how hot it is outside.

So far the best results I've had are with Meguires gel coat boat polish and wax. After I wax it, I "spit shine" with quick detailer and a terry cloth towel. But, it still leaves some white residue in the bottom of the rough textured top.

I've also tried Mother's Back to Black. It was oily and left an uneven finish.

I found something called "Gel Glosser" at Lowe's that sounded promising from reading the label. Ugh! What a mess it made. The entire top pretty much turned grey.

Using regular polish and wax left more white wax residue that the boat stuff.

Anyone have any other techniques/products they have found works? I'm not interested in smoothing and painting the top.
