    Looks like the top came clean though. :bigsmile:

    The "before" pic looks like you were growing mold.  :lol: Back in the 80's, I had a Grand Prix that had a white vinyl half-top. It just covered the rear of the roof. I had it re-dyed after maybe 4-5 years because it got to looking dirty. It looked good for about 2 years after that, then I traded it in.  :misbehaving: Apparently white is tought to keep clean, but mine was never in a garage either.

    :iagree:

    Looks like you took the spray can option and carefully sprayed the entire top.  You can even see a little over spray on the wall above the car.  I hope I am wrong about this pic, but it just looks wrong to me.

    Either way, the top looks great.   :2thumbs:

    It was "Comet Soft Cleanser - Scratch Free with Bleach"  -- with a spill proof cap!!!!   :wow:

    I used a brush and scrubbed it and then rinsed it thoroughly right after.... (might be careful with the finish on your MOPAR -- it does have bleach).   

    As was noted in this thread -- should then follow-up with some kind of product to give it UV protection.....

    Good luck!

    LOL I do agree the finished product is beautiful but I wonder along with the others if the cleaner worked as well on the wall as it did on the top?  :bigsmile:
