waxing canopy ?
anyone here have a suggestion on what to use? i was thinking maybe some kind of boat polish, but haven't started looking....
i'm not looking for a shine, but rather protection from sun, and other natural corossion...
thanks in advance

I dont see anything weird about it....Check my gallery. I painted it along with the rest of my truck, and clear-coated it all. I didnt see any reason not to have a shiney top too. It has a textured look, but is smooth to the touch.

sorry matt... weird meaning -- I personally wouldn't think to clear coat it... my bad, i'm sorry i didn't make that clear in my last post !! = )
i hope you added a flex agent into the clear so that if the canopy flexes (which i'm sure at one point they will/do) so that the clear wouldn't crack...
for now, i'll stick with some kind of wax hoping that someone has had good luck with a certain brand or kind...
oh and my canopy isn't faded, i'm just looking for somekind of protection from UV rays, and other corosives...

just courious if the clear coat is being done by others as long term protection for the canopys?
