Default Cleaning Soft Top Windows

Had to share these two products with everyone.
I had minor scratches and blemishes on the windows of my softop, so I went to Boaters World rather than waiting for delivery of something online.
I picked up two products from Mequiars:

Meguiars Mirror Glaze Clear Plastic Cleaner


Meguiars Mirror Glaze Clear Plastic Polish


I cant tell you how happy I was after using these two products. It made my plastic windows look like glass.
To top it off, my neighbor has a 97 TJ with a soft top. He bought the same products and his windows were worse off than mine. They look like new.
No it doesnt remove all the imperfections like deep scuff marks, but it hides them to the point that you can barely see them.
I dont usually recommend products, but had to tell you about these. Worth looking for.

Yep those plastic cleaners and polishers are the way to go. Make sure you don't use detergents to clean them when you wash the vehicle, that is what turns the plastic yellow.

I've been using both of these products since we bought a TJ years ago, we continue to use it on the JK. Good stuff, works well and helps take that yellow tint out of older windows too. Nice heads up for everyone about a good product.
