For fear of severely scratching the rear window. I wait until I can get the road grime really wet and gingerly wipe it off. Are there any fixes to keep the salt/mud/road grime from splashing all over the rear area. An air deflector? Mike

 

wtf dude? its is a jeep, let it be dirty. always use a hose with plenty of water, and use a sponge. since sponges are rather inexpensive i keep the sponge for about a month, as a sponge will hold dirt and grime.

 

mine is scratched up bad and its a PITA. I believe it happened from rolling it up and throwing it in the back of the jeep during the summer. now it's winter and I can't see out too good. guess I'll b buying a new one soon.

once i get a new one I'm gonna try to buff it out. folks on the air force base use a buffing compound and extremely fine polishing paper to buff out the canopies on the aircraft. I'm gonna order me some of that stuff from the vendor and try it on my rear window. worse thing that can happen is I mess it up some more.

 

Get the Novus products 1&2, they'll make them look better. Got mine at the local Harley shop.

 

You're speaking of the micromesh kit does work wonders but you're local crew chief has at least two he might part with for some "beverages"

 

yeah, I just retired and don't have any need to go back out in that madness. I'll just buy some.

 

Although I have not tried it, I've been told Lemon Pledge will remove a lot of the scratches.

When I had my '81 Scrambler I used to go out to the airport - to the general aviation section - and get some of the plastic cleaner they used on aircraft windows (aircraft windows are plastic!). As I remember, it did work relatively well.

 

i was just wondering if anybody has tried RAIN X on soft top windows. it works great on glass windows. haven't tried it yet

 

Don't use RainX on anything other than glass. It will wreck plastic or plexi surfaces. Makes them cloudy over time.

 

Pledge works great! Its basically a wax compound that helps clear up those little micro scratches and protects against new ones. there's nothing you can do for the big scratches. Never roll up the rear window unless you just cleaned it
