Aft deck hardtop weight limit
I desparately need to get on my hardtop for a good cleaning and even wax compounding. The hardtop is so chaulkey that every time it rains, I get white streaks running down my isenglass and it looks like crap.
So, will my hardtop support my 200 lbs body to do this work?

Do you have the same problem I have? Excessive chalking on the hardtop?

Re: Aft deck hardtop weight limit
A very reputable wax guy in our area, suggested painting the hardtops with fibreglass paint. This way it will never oxidize and run down the side of your canvass. I have seen it done and I looks no different than a waxed fibreglass top does . How often do you wax it anyway. If it has been left for a while, it can be a bitch to bring it up.
Just a thought.
