Hi, I have been doing some bodywork and left a dust sheet covering the roof for a few weeks. Its now stuck on and just flakes. Sun damage I guess. Any ideas how to get the bloody stuff off? Thanks

what have you tried so far?

my first attemp would be water based - a scrubber or jet wash, failing that I'd turn to white spirits then celulose thinners.

not sure what effect solvents would have on the gel coat on the roaf though.
