OK, I just ordered Forever Black (Black) from a dealer on Fleabay. I figured the 32oz container was too much for one small top, and I didn't want/need any cleaner, so I got the 8oz with an applicator, delivery to my door for ~$21. It's actually coming from a store right here in Florida, so I would except it in just a few days.

Huge thanks, I hope this makes it right! I'm sure it will improve it if it just blends the white spots in a little better.

I got my dye (actually a few days ago), just need to give it a try. I'll shoot some before after (unless it looks like crap, then I'll never post about it again... )

Thanks for the positive reinforcement I have that thread bookmarked.

Just to clarify, it's actually the _underside_ of the top (which shows when it's down).

Just a quick update: I got the product, applied it to the underside of the top (where it's exposed while it's in the down position) and my white bleach marks are all gone. I meant to shoot a before, but just image 3 or 4 nickel sized white spots and about a dozen smaller spots. Now imagine them gone

I wound up cutting off about 1/2" off the end of the applicator to use under/around the latch area, which worked great (I was going to just pull them off).

Really happy about this fix, thanks again to everyone
