The white > vinyl seems as though it's fading in some spots First, use a solution of water and a good but mild soap (Ivory dishwashing liquid would be perfect) to clean the top, along with a good stiff nylon brush to work into the grain. Then trot on down to your local Lowe's/Home Depot/Hardware store and purchase a bottle of Armstrong Vinyl Floor Sealant. I tried this stuff on a whim last year for my '70 Imperial, and was very pleased with the results. It gives a nice clean glow to the top, but doesn't look sticky or tacky. It also doesn't run when it gets wet, like some other vinyl treatments which leave streaks down the side of the car when it rains. I did discover that it will leave little white spots when it gets wet, but these disappear as soon as it dries. I expect a dose or two of this stuff will do wonders for your vinyl top.
