Did someone mention ignorance?

I'm not really sure how to buff an uneven surface like a camper top, but to
remove a haze of NU-FINISH from one I can suggest a product called Goof-off.
 I purchase Goof-off from my local True Value hardware store.  That's the
only place that I can find it.  It also takes off tree sap, road tar, dried
latex paint, the oxidized top layer from black plastic and rubber, and
anything even remotely associated with oil, grease, wax, etc.   It is a
serious remover and will NOT disturb automotive finishes.  I recommend a
light scrubbing in with a medium bristled cleaning brush and immediately
wiping off with a paper towel.  Then, use Zymol to protect the paint.  It
will not haze like many "inferior" waxes.  It may or may not take off the
oxidation, but at least it will protect which is what the paint is supposed
to do in the first place.  Warning: do not attempt to buff with rubbing
compoud an irregular surface such as a pop-top.  you will remove all of the
paint from only the top of the "waves" of the surface.  I speak from costly
experience.
