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...
