There is a company called 303 Products.  They make a product called "303
Aerospace Protectant"  It is popular in marine and RV circles.  They claim
it can restore the finish after a couple of applications.  It is expensive,
but can be bought at a discount at West Marine.  I have tried their sample,
and it seemed to work very well.  Other list members have recommended it.

Their web address:  http://www.303-products.com  extensive information
available there.

Usual dislaimers apply....

Try Castrol Super Clean, a bristle brush, and a sponge. Be careful to wash
it off well with water, especially if any full-strength drips onto the van's
paint. Follow with a coat of Meguiars paint sealer and a coat of wax, and
it'll look like new!

Subject: Pop-top Cleaner?

Any suggestions for cleaning the exterior of the pop-top? I seem to have
accumulated black mildew on it. Any miracle cleaners or restoratives that
are worth a try?
