If you are not interested in going the Penetrol route.

Here are pics of what it looked like before and after.

The before picture is not my top, but mine looked pretty much the same, if not a little worse. I still need to wax it, but it is nice and shiny after a few hours of rubbing and some 2 1/2% tint from WalMart.
