    The plastic rear window on my 75 Convertible is original and faded to a brownish color- any suggestions on what polish woks best to clean that rear plastic window ? The rest of the original top is good- want to keep original.
    What is your experience ??? Thanks

      Before and after when I did the cleaning and polishing in 2016. I think it took me two days, one to clean and one to polish, not 8 hour workdays though.
      Eight years later and still looks as good as above photo.

      The cleaner and polish are in the garage and I will post a pic of them tomorrow.

        Novus #2 fine scratch remover and polish. I've been using this for years on soft top windows and hardtop plexiglass. Great stuff.

              Donald, did your window have yellowing before you started? If so, did your process clear remove the yellowing?
              Thanks
