Vinyl tops & floor wax

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

I have not used AERO Wax on the top. I believe that AERO Wax is milky looking. 
I tried FUTURE because it is very clear. I had noticed while using it on floors 
that it tended not to be effected by sunlight or become discolored. The car I 
used it on has a white top and really would not respond to any of the normal 
maintenance procedures. Under the best of circumstances the top had become 
permanently dull and unattractive. Trying this truely was a last resort, but it 
did work.

I also tried it on a dash pad, but the result was too glossy and too much glare 
from the sun. Removing it was a big chore. I would highly discourage trying it 
on any interior trim.

Regular maintenance with the correct high quality products will preserve the 
top and other vinyl trim and prevent the need for trying unorthodox treatments 
to restore a good appearance. 

In using anything for something other than its intended purpose I would be 
concerned about the potential for unwanted effects such as the yellowing that 
Greg brought up here.
