Hard top refresh

Just did a quick, half-hearted wash job and figured I'd update this with current photos. This is 3 years after one application of Penetrol. (I bought the Jeep March 21, 2021, applied the Penetrol on March 27,2021)

It's not perfectly clean, and has water spots because I had to wash it in direct sunlight, but there's not really any observable fade to note.
 
My aftermarket hard top was hanging outside under a carport for 7 years and I took it from nasty and faded (top was already faded when I bought the Jeep) to looking pretty good doing this:

- Magic eraser and warm water
- Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound with an orbital polisher
- Meguiar’s Ultimate Polish with an orbital polisher
- Meguiar’s Quick Detailer Spray Wax and a couple rags

Surprisingly, it didn’t take too long using an orbital polisher. A couple hours maybe.

I was very pleased with the results. I don’t know how long it will last and doesn’t really matter to me as l’ve taken the hard top back off and stored it. I just like the soft top better.

True restoration. Amazing result! Going to do mine before winter hits.
