i was reading a thread on autopia the other day and it mentioned using Brasso to clean a convertible top rear plastic window. i replaced my '69 camaro top about 15 years ago, and over time the rear window has become discolored and opaque. i've tried several cleaners over the years, but none have worked.
i'll probably replace this top this coming spring, so i figured that i had nothing to lose and only something to learn. i started with Brasso on a terry cloth towel, and not too much arm pressure. it pulled only a little dirt off, so i tried again with more pressure. half a can of Brasso and much elbow grease later, i had pretty well cleared this old window up!!!! i have to say that i doubted that this would work, but it did.
the window was so far gone that i don't know that i can totally clear it up, but i'm about 50% of the way there now. i had also expected alot of scratches in the plastic, but none so far. there are some worn spots in this top, so i'll replace it anyhow. i'll continue to work on it with the Brasso just to see how clear i can get it.
i'm always amazed at what i learn on this site. like most, i've always worked hard to keep my cars looking good. now i'm working smarter to keep them nice.
thanks
