For routine cleaning and maintenance, I've had very good luck with Plexus. I have the Meguiar's and the Porsche stuff, but haven't felt the need to use any of it yet. I hear Griot's stuff is also really good. http://www.plexusdirect.com/ | ||

89Tcab, yes the sealer makes water bead on the top for months after an application. | ||

Hey Frank, do you find the sealer makes a difference? I keep up with any cleaning as needed but always wondered if the top needed to be treated for sealing from time to time as I drive in the rain. | ||

I don't have a soft-top, but any other clear plastic surfaces I've used the Novus 2-step plastic polish system. The #2 is especially fine, it did a superb job cleaning my iridium-coated Oakley sunglasses... Hey Rob, you feeling alright? Are you getting fresh with Magoo  ? | ||

I use a product that comes in a spray can sold at the boat and canvas shops in Detroit area made by Summer Laboratories Inc. in Boston, Ma. phone number 1-800-542-8656 called 210 Plastic Cleaner and Polish it is wonderful stuff. It is also very easy to use no mess no fuss. The price is $6.49 for a 14 oz. can. | ||

I use the BMW Top Care kit for my 348 and it works great. It includes a top shampo, a top sealer, a rear plastic window cleaner and a rear plastic window polish. You can get the kit from a local BMW dealer for about $20.00 | ||

Mequiar's makes a product specifically for cleaning and polishing plastic windows. Its called Mirror Glaze Plastic Cleaner & Polish #18. It does an excellent job. | ||

Magoo's dead on with the toothpaste. That's what my friend's body shop used on mine and worked great. | ||

Doody, If the areas on the window to be cleaned don't have heavy scratches you can use Colgate orig.white toothpaste on a damp soft cloth to clean the glass. The toothpaste has a mild abrasive in it and does a good job. | ||

what do people suggest for plastic cleaner for the rear window on the drop tops (355 in my case, though i assume it applies across most everything)? my 911 convertible came with some porsche cleaner in a tiny jar that did very impressive things to the plastic window - great stuff - but i sent it off with the car when i sold it, silly me. any advice appreciated. couldn't find anything in the archives on this. doody. |
