Will mask off the rest of the car with tarps and covers to protect the paint. Maybe put a small sprinkler on for 5/10 mins to really loosen up whatever could be in the top, then go to town with a Magic Eraser and the solutions. Will keep you guys informed. Thanks for the input, John

Now I know why the new stuff really sucks. The original formula was fantastic!

Recently I tried it on my 69 bird convertible and it did NOTHING. Water did better . So I used bleach and then after changed the Ph back with as I recall Baking soda , liked it up at the time . That didn’t touch the black stuff either . On boat hulls for that river spotting we use a thing called power 1 stuff is amazing. But idk if it would work on a top. And anything aluminum it’ll turn white . You litterally touch it to the hull and the staining goes away. Instantly. https://www.amazon.com/Fountain-Yout...53990400&psc=1 |

I too thought something was different as far as results with Westleys. It has always been my go to cleaner but its just not the same as it was. Dang. Good to know what changed in the formula.
