I will be trying the Pledge this week. It is getting time to remove the soft top for the winter anyway. When I bought my Jeep 10 months ago, the original owner had never installed the soft top, and after one summer the windows look pretty rough.

The Pledge might work ok at the start, but I think a few have said that it will cause discloration after a while.....

I have trid all of these that have been said except sanding. With all of them it took the haze off. Most of them left micro scratches. None seem to take them back to new. I used scratch out on mine.

I have used the Mopar vinyl window cleaner/polisher with pretty good results.

Ny body have any before and after pics of their work ? I am pretty curious as to how it turned out, you know seeing is believing. Plus I would like to have someone try it before I do (just being honest ya know) if you screw it up I get to learn from you, and if you get better I can always pay you to have it done for me ? LOL

A friend of mine said he used Meguiar's products and had great results. He said to start with this one:

Then finish with this one:
