I've had a white mark on my cabrio top for six months (since a guard house gate came down and smashed on my top) and tried many different things to get it off. Today I asked my wife if she thought a little black shoe polish would hide the mark - and she suggested I try some vinegar first.

I was skeptical - I'd tried a lot of cleaners, etc. - but gave it a shot. It worked! Just a tiny bit on a rag and a little rubbing and the mark came right off. A rinse with some clear water and my top is nice and black again!

I always knew Vinegar would come in handy!

 

WOW! Thanks for sharing!!! I will file that in my brain until I need it!

Good advice!

 

vinegar over time can hurt your top, check out 303 products via autogeek.net

 

think of the vinegar as acid rain

 

Nice lead, thanks. No MINI on their ragtop charts, though.

 

May I recommend checking with the nice people at Detailers Paradise? They sell several brands of convertible cleaner and sealer....
