    Ok here is probably another common question. I have this 01 360 Spider and the rear plastic window for the convertible has some scratches from the top going up and down. I do not want to send it to be replaced as it will be stuck at my local shop for who knows how long. Any suggestions on how to buff it or refinish it? Any help would be appreciated!!

    I was able to find Meguier's version of what you guys posted. It was a 2 step polishing process. It worked OK. Not a flawless result but one I could live with for now.

    My recently acquired 360 had a very hazy rear window with two distinct scratches ....I utilized headlamp refinishing cream with an old T-Shirt ..... amazing results. The two heavy scratches are barely noticeable now. A word of caution, utilize blue painters tape around the perimeter of the window and protect the canvas top material in order to avoid residue.

    On a side note..... For one of my other cars, I do two things

    1) Use Plexus (same stuff you might use on clear-bra) for a regular cleaning and conditionning. No yellow at all. (The Scratch-X works nice to clean, but try it a bit
    "wet" on a 2nd pass for a finer finish.........same concept as doing a wet-sand on paint)

    2) When 1/2 dot the down position, I have a microfiber towell I place under the window to prevent any creasing.
