Nick,

To really make your top sparkle, find a bottle of "3M Marine Protective
Liquid Wax" (#09026) and put a coat of that on your newly cleaned top.  That
particular 3M product is made especially for fiberglass/gelcoat surfaces.

I stumbled upon that product and used it for the first time on my vanagons
top last weekend.   I can't believe how much better the top looks.  This
product is exactly what I should have been using all along.

Subject: Pop top beautification

Just thought I'd relay some info on cleaning the poptop now that
spring is upon us. I was preparing to install new seals around my 85
poptop and thought I should clean the fiberglass while I was at it. It
had the appearance of  a heavily oxidized dull finish. I used 3M Marine
fiberglass cleaner. Holy Cow!!! What a difference!! It actually has as
shine to it now! I recommend using a drill or buffer to really work the
stuff in but good ol elbow grease will work to. With the new seals in
place, a new Westfalia sticker applied, she looks brand new!
