James,

We had this same topic over on Team Camaro.

http://www.camaros.net/cgi-bin/forum...c/3/2724.html?

Chris Edwards did his and it turned out great. If you go to his site and then click on exterior and then scroll down towards the bottom of the page it will show you what he started with and what he ended up with. There are some other good thoughts on the topic as well from others on that post

Thanks Jeff. I don't think I want to take a wire brush to my top but a stiff nylon one should be ok.

detail shops sell a stiff brush that goes on your Makita buffer...works awsome!!! saves the arms for shifting when you are done...I did not read the thread but good old Comet with a dab of water and the power brush cleaned a couple scrungy white tops around here years ago...

Might wanna' be real careful with Comet washing down over your paint. Maybe mask-off around the top and cover the paint with plastic sheet? I used to use Comet with a scrub brush on white-lettered tires and it really worked, but over time it slowly took the factory clear coat off the aluminum wheels. Just a thought.
