1st Gen fiberglass top.....what do you use to shine it up?
So what do you 1st gen owners use on your fiberglass tops to shine em up. I have tried enerything I know to try and the best that I have found is liquid silicone but it does not keep the shine to long.

I've used that stuff on my mirrors and other stuff (it works on any color plastic) it works pretty good, it doesn't last forever, but longer than anything else I've tried, usually a couple weeks to a month, depending on if I park the same way everyday (only one of my mirrors is black and the other gets chaulky)
I'm not so sure that it would work on a 4runner top though, it doesn't say anything about using it on a painted surface, but it's worth a shot, if it doesn't work you've got plenty to shine up everything else

now that would piss me off, I could totally see that happening, you think your pimp cause you've got a nice shiny top now, and then a day later you look at your top and it looks like fly-tape

Go to a boat place (West Marine, Overton's, Boater's World, etc) and check out the stuff they have for fiberglass.
Best I've used is 3M Finesse-It.
My guess is that the color is ALL gelcoat ... once it starts oxidizing, it's a PITA to keep up.

New paint. I had tried almost everything including buffing it, but cheap paint is the best answer. IMO if it needs to be shined that bad, it could probably use a new coat.
