Care of Hi Top

Post by Stefvan »

Hi
what would people recommend to clean/protect the fibreglass high top ? Mine is going a pit powdery and dull. Just normal car wax or something special ?

Fibreglass restoring

Get some special stuff from a Yachty type shop - especially for fibreglass.

.Here's the stuff on fleabay: It might be a bit dear but I reckon it is well worth it and will prob do you for several uses (i'm still on the first bottle after 6 years). It's a sort of cutting and polishing and waxing stuff - hard work the first time because of the years of weathering that needed to be dealt with but mine came up virtually like new. I redo it every couple of years when I get round to it - takes me an hour or so and makes it look great.
