Title: Canopy refreshing
Post by: finsrin on March 26, 2012, 11:07:37 AM

Canopy from parts box has what looks to be smudges from finger with glue on it.  Smudge is so-so.  Smudge not gross but is enough that it would be best to reduce it or eliminate it before using canopy on current bash.  Got a bunch of misc parts from a guys garage.
Any suggestions on cleaning the smudge ?

Sand the blemish with the finest sandpaper you can find until smooth, then dip it in future floor wax. for more info on using Future refer to this article, great stuff that really works well.

Thanks for the tip.  Used what I think is 6000 grit pad.  Is taking care of majority of it.  Much appreciated - Bill
