    Car looks great!

    What plastic sheets do you use to cover the car when doing the fabric on the convertible top? And what did you think of the Turtle Wax 1 and Done?

    Thank you! That is very kind.

    The plastic masking rolls came from Amazon they were $7.00 a roll. (It took 2 rolls) I got the kind that has tape on it.

    The Turtle Wax "1 and Done" is a surprisingly good, pad dependant, product. Honestly, TW has had a bad rap for a long time. However...
    The new "Hybrid Solutions Pro" products are a good improvement. I`ve now used "1 and Done" on a few vehicles with good results.
    "You don`t always need a sledgehammer to nail a thumbtack." For a light/medium compound/polish it did a good job with little to no dusting.

    HYBRID SOLUTIONS PRO TO THE MAX WAX™ (liquid) and HYBRID SOLUTIONS PRO GRAPHENE FLEX WAX (spray) are also good consumer products.

    I will admit, I did need to finish with CARPRO white Gloss Pad and CARPRO Reflect to obtain a higher gloss, shine, and clarity.

    Thanks! One of these days I’m going to have to clean and spray my cloth top. I’ve had the stuff, just not the time. I’ll definitely pick those rolls up.

    I have To the Max Wax and Flex Wax, just haven’t gotten around to using those yet, either.

    It`s a little time consuming to clean the top, let it dry and cover the entire car/paint with plastic wrap but it`s worth it.
    The beads and protection is awesome. It lasts about a year +/-
