        Hi Derek,

        Thank, I have for long... time, since 2001/2I have Amazon 1969 top original that I bought in super cold winter in north Sweden with ~27000 km!!! like new, but when I took it out (for impressing, stupid) from the worm room to -37C the speedo Gray paint got 2 cracks, by the spring I drove it to Munich and put in my collection now the car have ~ 31000km from new and now is the time to fix those cracks, I thought about use VHT wrinkle plus in Gray.
        May be I will put the car for sale the follow spring.

        ** Original 123GT 1968 in my own over 20y

          Doron;

          I suggest you visit the Volvoniacs forum and search...I think this subject was covered there in depth a while ago. Forum is in German, but it looks to me like you will have no problem with that...
