Plastic rear screen is also rather blurry. anyone recommend a good cleaner? standard honda glass cleaner (gotta be windolene ) doesn't really shift the blur.

Brave man!! I don't think I'll ever be sideways in mine unless I find myself on an aerodrome or something

I believe people use plexus? A search should throw up a good list of places selling it

Internet search didn't come up with anything. Can I get this Plexus stuff in halfords? Or anyone know where I can get it?


I had a hire Z3 when out in NZ and was driving on many road types (see the rally on at the mo for example roads!) so have had some practice in the sideways/back out scenarios. There were many deserted flat dust tracks to 'experiment' safely on
Am only learning really, but there's this corner near me that has a grass 'run off' so I gave it some welly, a bit of lift off, then back on the power. Nothing too mad as I'm also learning the car. I love controlling the car when it steps out, but still have to be careful at all times.

Plexus is great for cleaning the screen and keeping it conditioned but for scratches and real yellowing I recommend Meguiars #17 Clear Plastic Polish. Hard to come by inthe UK but can be bought quite cheaply on the internet from the USA e.g. www.autodetail.com

Please remember that glass cleaners are just that, they are for GLASS not soft plastics. It could be that some of their contents may actually worsen the state of the screen

I know a Meguiars importer - I can put you in touch with him (he's on the Audi board where I used to be a regular before I got my S2000).
