    Need help with bringing back Bronco Hardtop

    I have an early 90's fullsize Bronco lined up with very oxidized paint. I know what's need to bring back the paint, but the hardtop is in just as bad shape - really oxidized and chalky looking. What could be done to bring it back? I'm assuming it is a fiberglass top and has the texture similar to a Jeep hardtop. Would something off the marine line be best to use? Does anyone have any experience with restoring a hardtop?

    Had a 90 Bronco. Faded, chalky top required a repaint.

      I haven't really had any luck with anything on mine, as far as a more permanent fix. Nothing that could simply be wiped on anyways. Trim Detailer did make it look better, until it was washed or rained on.

        Thanks guys. I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping the hardtop wouldn't hold back the outcome of the detail. I guess there's not much I can do about it. Thanks.

              Shyne, thanks for the recommendation. I'm going to order some up and give it a try. I won't be doing the Bronco for several more weeks, but when I do I'll have to post some pics of how it turned out.

                  Morning,

                  You can also try a product called Nyalic. It is very expensive and while it works awesome on fiberglass, paint and metals, they also say it is for plastics. It is a product that bonds to the surface and restoring the original color. However, like most things, a repaint would be the best fix, IMHO.
