(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) That's what I use. My top is painted, so I don't know too much about re-newing it, but there is some stuff called black something (sorry I can't remember) that people have used in the past to renew their tops. I know there is a thread on here somewhere. |

Stay away from dish soap. It's designed to dissolve grease/wax.
Any wax with caranuba should do fine. I like paste wax, but there's significant effort involved in the application. If your paint is less than six months old, then I would recommend waiting until you wax the car. |

not to contradict Rusty...
but I would use a stong cleaner first... Like the dish soap which is normally bad, but would do the job of stripping all the wax and 2 years of toxic waste... then I would follow it up with a wax job. most import use a ton of water. don't let it get dry then regarding the top get some of the product called: forever black its a die actually, but does a nice job on tops and bumpers to restore shine. congrats on getting it back! drive it. drive it. drive it. drive it. drive it. brant |

You didn't contradict me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) But if someone wants to strip the old wax from the car, get some good degreaser from the auto-body supply store. It's hella good. Dishsoap will only do a half-assed job cleaning, just enough harm to screw up a good base wax job. -Rusty (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) |
