    Hi fellow cabrio owners,

    I need to clean up my plastic window, which I have not previously done. What is everyone's recommended products and processes for doing this? Thanks in advance!

    Cheers,
    Joe

    Hello - I've included a few links below for cleaners for your cabrio.

    Mirror GlazeŽ Clear Plastic Cleaner for light cleaning.

    PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish for getting out light scratches and hazing.

    Otherwise just a soft damp cloth for regular dust removal.

    Yes the PLastex is a good product that I've used on occasion. I also had good success with a high quality fine polish such as Meguiars m205 Ultra.

    I had a detailer clean a really bad window at the dealership and I swear he said he used tooth paste

    I used to detail boats for a living, and learned this tip from a client: for flexible clear plastics--like bimini and dodger windows on a boat, or like your rear window--use Lemon Pledge. It doesn't restore a clouded surface, but it helps a clear one stay that way. Easy to spray on a clean window and wipe off.
