best stuff for clearing up clear vinyl rear window?

[dcarlson]

anyone found something good? It's not yellowed/cracked but it is showing it's age and not as clear as it might be with some decent product. Appreciate any suggestions for something recommended for clear soft vinyl windows..

I don"t know but I am watching this thread!

I used pledge for my boat windows.

I'm interested in how also. Mine is a little hazy.

Pledge really does work well, I also use it on my helmet visor, lemon pledge for a nice fresh scent.

OK for hard plastic though I think PlastX (Meguiars) or Plexus will change your mind about using furniture wax on your helmet visor.
Searches surprisingly don't seem to target anything specific to clear soft vinyl.

I've used novus products to polish fine scratches out of jeep soft windows. Their cleaner works well also.

Meguiars Plastic Cleaner and Plastic Polish (two products) work quite well. The cleaner helps eliminate light scratches and oxidation, and the polish helps bring back some of the shine. You can find it at most auto parts stores.

I will try this stuff and maybe report back in few weeks...

I used Turtle Wax Headlight restorer. $10.... Worked Great.

+1 for Plexus on my cab rear window and helmet visors. All of which were in rather good shape already however.

+1 for Plexus, had great results on a cab plastic rear window and our race car plastic windows too. Seems to fill in small scratches.
Easy to use spray on buff off.

+1...Another vote for Plexus. I've tried most for the other solutions offered too, but nothing works as well.

+1 on Novus, theyhave cleaning / polishing solutions to 'clean' up the fine scratches. Once clean then Plexus works great. Just make sure that when you polish and clean you use a very good microfiber cloth (Zaino Bros. makes a fantastic microfiber cloth) AND ALWAYS wipe in the same direction.

2 products from Meguire's: "Mirror Glaze Plastic Cleaner" is used first, then "Mirror Glaze Plastic Polish". I used to have to use these on my Triumph TR-6 cars -- works great - as long as it's just white fogging -- even heavy white.

The thing is all these treatments really do not last, once product wears out or rinses off.

I wish there was some sort of elastic clear coat paint.

I do this for dingy plastic headlights and works wonders, wet sand then spray on clear coat, lasts for about a year until the UVs eats it again.

OK - this is good stuff - I had actually used some other products first with some improvement but this stuff made an amazing difference without a lot of difficulty - just followed their directions. I'd highly recommend it. Original roof and window on an '86. fwiw..

Probably selling the 911 soon - gotta get a value for an original car with everything including a/c and roof motors in good working order. 68,500 on the clock. Maybe I'll list in classifieds here.,]
