Although the health aspects of this are questionable, it worked great:

I scrubbed my white vinyl top with a scrub brush soaked in methanol.
Apparently, the methanol dissolved a thin layer of vinyl, that has imbedded
dirt & discoloration, off.  The 6-year old top looked like new!

After this treatment, I "sealed" the vinyl with some kind of commercial
"luster-restorer", I don't remember the brand.
