Anyone use Meguiars plastx for the soft windows?

I have some scratching from rolling rear window up.

Thank

I noticed a long scratch (more like a rub) on my side window when I arrived home from the dealer after a complimentary free oil change. I used Meguiars PlastX on it and it dissappeared. I always keep the PlastX around because it's excellent for removing scratches and swirls from my Goldwing windshield (made from acrylic plastic).
Novus is another popular brand but more expensive. I personally think you can't go wrong with PlastX. It also removes minor scratches in the clearcoat paint. Follow up with Aerospace 303 or Plexus for UV protection and antistatic properties.
