Default refurbishing fiber glass Cobra top.

Hi,
* My cobra trailer fiber glass top lost its original glow and
smoothness. Two years ago I applied a clear coat, poli glo restorer,
but the coat is now mostly gone. Has any one got a good way of
restoring the fiber glass top?

Paining with white paint? Painting with just a clear coat? Buffing?
Any info will be appreciated.

Cheers,

GK


I had the same challenge with mine after I got sick for the better
part of a year, and the Florida combination of sun, pine pollen and
humidity caused the mold to put down roots into the glass. I got a
lot of conflicting advice on paint, but was talked into buying one of
the fancy orbital buffers on Tim's Wings & Wheels site. That with a
buffing compound recommended and supplied by a friend, Aqua Cut 1000
followed by Aqua Cut 2000, at about 2 hours total, brought it back to
near new.

Tim was right when he said I woldn't regret buying that buffer!
