Oh my god couldn't believe how much mold and dirt build up I had on the roof, I got up there and scrubed the shit out of it, looks great now cleaned the mats, vacuumed, frebreezed and cleaned windows and waxed her. Took me like 4 hours. She's all cleaned for the Phish Spac show :smile:

Ever tried boat fiberglass cleaner/wax for your roof?
I do it each year and it makes regular cleaning a breeze!

Nothing like cleaning the ride, your not just going to a concert, but being a vw owner, your also going to a car show!

Keep up the VW pride! Jerry would be proud.

I hit mine with a waterproofer this spring. the paint (or spray) on oil based kind from west marine. Supposed to keep out the rot as well as the water. Was glad I did so, as the rain we have been in at and since the Vibes has been epic!

Whats the website I must get some of that or should I just google West marine?

I think there is one up by exit 15, but google west marine. Could get it in Latham. Probably Sprawl MArt has it also.

this looks like the stuff currently. The spray version sounds easy!

Latham is the closest upon looking further
