Subject:oxidation on a dark-colored pop-top: any consensus on a solution?
From:K. Taylor
Date:Sun, 5 Aug 2001 16:41:41 -0700

I have a 1990 Multivan with a burgundy-colored Westy top.  It's oxidized
through the years and, because of its dark color, doesn't look very good.
I've asked various professionals about a fix for the problem, but no one
seems to have a solution.

Apparently (according to a body shop) painting won't work.  Buffing the
finish can cause further damage, according to a detailer.

Is there any consensus within this group of how to make a dark-colored
pop-top look good again?
