dave guest said: (quoted from post at 21:22:53 08/21/08) 91 Cad with Vinyl top stained badly. Anyone ever use paint or some type of dressing to recoat or recolor. Willing to take a chance since I can always buy another top, but car is not likely worth it(600). Worth keeping though even when ugly. After 14 years hate to junk her. Thanks.


I just cleaned up some pretty nasty vinyl seats on some bikes and a moped that had been setting outside for several years and they look new.

Clean it with something like 409 or fantastic (I made an old Buick from a brushpile look like new inside and out with fantastic bathroom cleaner) until the rag is clean and let it dry (park in the shade).

I used F21 from Turtle Wax (not picky about one brand or the other, just what was available at the time). Mist it on, spread it out real good, and wait a few minutes (I waited about 20 cause I got side tracked) and go to it with something like a Tshirt. If it's not shiney enough, mist it and wait again. If your top's not damaged, it should look like new. It'll do a showroom job on the interior and weather stripping too without a whole lot of work. I even brought a weathered fiberglass horse trailer back to life with the stuff.

Good Luck,

Dave

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
