shaving cream + vinyl convertable top = no bueno
so I have this client looking for me to remove the stains from the vinyl top on a older VW rabbit. the shaving cream sat on it over night, and its been about a month since it happened. the vinyl top is a white/cream color, and the stains look bleached...

how should I go about removing and reconditioning the vinyl top? think its repairable? sucks without pics I know...

Gosh if the stain looks bleached it's tough to say even if there's much that can be done, but of course I'm not expertise on convertible tops.

Tops can be dyed, but try a stiff brush and Raggtop cleaner first.
