Davidmatthews Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 What is the safest way to clean the plastic side windows as have washed the car wiped with clean chamis ,now gone to polish them with glass cleaner and a new lint free cloth ,but stopped when I saw a few scratches Don't know if they were on there before I started or from clean chamis or rubbing of cloth Advice please as i do not want to get lots of light marks on then this early on thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 They do scratch very easily - I think the grit hides around the border and gets picked up in a cloth. Renovo plastic cleaner is one product that brings them up well, and reduces the opacity as the get older. It is also fab on plastic headlight lenses on tintops - brings them up like new again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob L Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I personally don't use anything special, just sponge and leather off but always conscious of the scratchy bits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jingars Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I (and a lot of others) use Renovo Platic Window Polish with good results. A chap posting on Pistonheads has achieved a cracking result using some paint restorer. Based on his posting I got some and used it to very successfully get some scuffs and scratches from my wife's tin-top - and plan to have a go at my side screens with it. ETA - Too slow!

gin-fizz-whizz Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Chap in our local motor factors recommended Pledge - I thought he was having a laugh. Tried it and was amazed. Perhaps not as good as the Renovo stuff but SWMBO didn't even miss it so it was free Earlier thread here Edited by - gin-fizz-whizz on 11 Sep 2012 17:41:39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john milner Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Slightly off topic but I found that a Karcher window vacuum cleaner is a good way to remove condensation in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesG Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I used the Renovo window polish with amazing effect on my old, tarnished sidescreens, they were transformed! I also bought the vinyl hood treatment from them for my hood and boot cover, again with brilliant results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
