jeep wrangler hard top question

[dad07]

Hey fellas got a jeep wrangler in the shop with a fiberglass textured hard top.This one should be black but is heavily oxidized. It appears this is flat paint.

Question 1:Need a suggestion what to use on this to get some nourishment back into the paint.

Question 2: What would be a good product to protect this style of top.


Thanks in advance!

I had an 87 Wrangler. Should've never gotten rid of that one

Question 1:Need a suggestion what to use on this to get some nourishment back into the paint.

Mine was pristine and I've never been asked to polish one out, but I am familiar with the texture you speak of


Question 2: What would be a good product to protect this style of top.

I would hit it with a liquid cleaner wax, or perhaps 205 using a mid grade foam pad or by hand


Thanks in advance!

No problemo. I would do a test area on the very top of the top. This way incase something goes awry, it won't be noticable. That is unless your customer is 7ft tall

You might also try that heatgun trick

What year is the wrangler, and which hard top coating does it have? Some have a textured flat coat, and some have a semi-gloss or gloss textured coat.

Here are a couple of test spots on my '02 TJ's top. You can see the oxidation around them. Top area is megs quik spray wax. It cleaned the area okay, but I think it could be better. The bottom is 303. Both areas sat for an hour before the pic.

Tell him to lose the hard top, Jeeps should be driven without doors and without tops.

Agreed!........but during the winter months the hard top is on there and he wants it looking good why I don't know cause he uses this for hunting.
