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 - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
