Cleaning hood windows

Recommended Posts

I know most "proper" Seveners won't know what I'm talking about, but my son has a hood in which the windows have gone blue and nearly opaque with what looks like algae. Any recommendations for non-damaging cleaning methods? (The plastic already has a few scratches from the previous owner's cleaning attempts!) Thanks!

Don't use anything with ammonia in it. This will include most kitchen and conventional window cleaners. It will make the plastic windows go yellow and brittle.

 

BMW(!) do an excellent toothpaste type stuff for soft top plastic windows. I have used it for several years on different cars and it's reasonably priced and a great product. It will 'bring back' quite poor plastic windows.

 

An alternative would be specialist perspex cleaner/renovators from the light aircraft industry. Expect aircraft style pricing.

 

There are others, but I haven't tried them.
