Is the Fiber Glass top painted or just gel coat finish. If it is the latter, you can proberly get away with T Cut

Is it varnish or laquer?
T-cut will strip back layers as will celulose (carefull!)

try a small spot with a cotton bud or something and see what works best.

The top is not painted (white from Factory?) so is this a gel coat finish?
I dont want to upset the structure of the roof, but I can live with it as it is.

T Cut will not give problems . Gentle use of thinners is OK. but do not splash it on painted surface.
