Fixed my Targa Top
After reading all the posts here on repairing the targa tops, I decided to tackle mine.
I used 800 grit, 1500 grit, and 2000 grit. All wet sanded.
Took it to a painter I know and had it cleared.
Wet sanded again with 2000 grit.
Polished and buffed.
Thanks to everyone who posted on this before or I never would have thought of trying it.

Approx 1/2 hr each for the 800 and 1500 with an air sander.
I did the 2000 by hand in straight strokes, probably another 1/2 hr.
And thanks!!

Wow!!! That looks great!! 
I have a glass top and was thinking about doing that! What did you use to polish and buff it with?
