Hi-top lost its shine

HI all
having climbed to the dizzy heights of my hi top to check the state of the decals, I have noticed the roof no longer has a shine to it, as it's made from fiberglass anyone got any suggestions so I can put the shine back
thanks

Shouldnt matter unless you are running away from a police helecopter, I hope not.

The top of my Symbol was also very dull. I used Farécla G10 finishing compound and plenty of elbow grease followed by a coat of Autoglym super Resin polish.
It was hard work especially working up a step ladder but it did make an improvement.

Like squip I used a Farecla product followed by Autoglym Super Resin polish. I used Farecla Marine Gel Coat Restorer & Wax. It took a couple of goes before it was free of smears, but did an excellent job.

Why not give the whole van a treat and use your ASOF discount with a call to Glamourshield - details on the forum smile!

As already mentioned I also recently used Farecla Gel Coat Restorer & Wax on our Trident hi-top, and it came up like NEW!
Just wish I had used it before.. as I've used lots of other products in the past including the G10 compound, but the Gel Coat Restorer worked the best leaving a high gloss finish up!

Auto-Sleepers sell the Farecla products or you can get them online, or ebay etc
