nogE 91 Posted June 1, 2011 alot of people would be scared to say i rec..... is it black?...if so..i had the same problems...and mine looks ok now.... but...i dared to use a pigment spray from eastwood products.... its a vinyl/leather pigment treatment they do....the key thing is to clean and clean and clean the roof first.....making sure theres no silicon residue of anykind on the roof before spraying....the whole car has to be mask out bigtime...and i used three cans about £10.00 a time...now i,m told the roof looks new..good luck :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PFM1964 5 Posted June 1, 2011 don't use thinners, it might bleach the vinyl, did this myself years ago, was only a small bit of overspray right down buy the chrome trim on the C pillar, took the shine off the vinyl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PFM1964 5 Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) cheers for the comments.it's been suggested also to try nail varnish remover any suggestions? i think you'll find that much the same as thinners, is there a lot of overspray, i have used something called Renovo in the past to clean vinyl in the past, that was a very good product, but you could try ringing your local paint factors or a spray shop and ask if they know whats best to use! another place you could try is a upholstery shop, if it will clean leather it sould clean vinyl, one the best vinyl cleaners i have used was a Vanish soap bar, bought up some dirty seats in one of my old cars a treat Edited June 3, 2011 by PFM1964 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I,V FOUND THE SPRAY I WAS ON ABOUT..... ITS A VHT {VERY HOT TEMPERATURN} PRODUCT...I FOUND IT IN THE FROST MAG.... THEY DO ALL RESTO PRODUCTS....IF YOU LOOK IT UP IN THE FROST SITE THE ID CODE IS U460.... ITS A PENETRATING COLOUR DYE.... AS I SAID BEFORE... CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN THE ROOF FIRST WITH WASHING UP LIQUID WATER THEN DRY DRY DRY..... MASK OUT THE WHOLE CAR FROM THE ROOF DOWN...SPRAY INSIDE...NO DRAFTS..... I USED THREE CANS....IF YOUR ANY GOOD OR AVERAGE MOVER....LOL ...THEN EVEN SPRAYS ALL OVER....IT WORKS WELL AND LOOKS GOOD WITH A VINYL FINISH LOOK.... :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cortina 4 Posted June 9, 2011 A clay bar will take overspray off panels and glass, it may work on a vinyl roof. If it doesn't, you'll still be able to use it on the bodywork. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richard 2509 0 Posted June 9, 2011 try diluting thinners with water using a nail brush to get in all the nooks and crannies. try it on a small area first off and have a cloth soaked in water to wash off asap. if it leaves marks on the vinyl and wont clean up with a vinyl cleaner then you will have to repaint. i clean the black vinyl roof of my 1971 gxl with shoe polish and the nailbrush method.
