I took my targa top off of my coupe and layer it down on the garage floor. I then forgot it was on the floor and backed over it, causing small gouges in it from the exhaust tips! I filled the gouges with clear paint and then tried to buff them out. I cannot get the luster that the top once had. Anyone out there who has done something similar and does anyone have any suggestion? It is a tinted blue clear top.

I've got some files that discuss refinishing a targa top - not sure if they will help you with your particular situation, but if you want a copy of them, just PM me your e-mail address. Some files are just too big to make as an attachment here on the forum.
