Cleaning and Reconditioning a Fiberglass Truck Topper

After I hit post on my last entry, I Googled ‘clean fiberglass truck topper’ and came up with squat. The solution hit me with a groan. Didn’t I do a giant fiberglass restoration project less than a year ago?!

I kicked myself for trying out wax first, but was thankful I didn’t do the whole topper. I went out, scrubbed the wax away, which, of course, took off even more of the colour, and then I applied about 15 coats of Poliglow. I’m not exaggerating. My arms are really sore!!!

Now, the topper colour isn’t even all over because of the initial discoloration, but I am shocked that it went from being a dull green that didn’t match the paint finish to this:

Whadya know, the topper and truck are a matched set!

After taking an hour yesterday to shampoo Moya’s carpets and seats, I took a couple of hours today to thoroughly wash and wax her. Doesn’t her shininess make her look extra pretty?

I need to figure out what I can do for the topper. I tried the wax and it just took off a lot of colour. Eep.  From the ground it doesn’t look terrible, but looking down at the roof it’s awful! 🙁
