Default Hardtop plexiglass window

Im getting a mugen rep. hardtop soon, and wanted to make sure my rear window stays like new. I know the plexi can get scratched, so is there any thing that can be applied to it to keep it looking new?

Hmm I havent really thought about it, but I dont know if there is much you can do to protect it other than cleaning it with a good cloth. If you do get some light scatches, I bet you could use a headlight restoration kit to get some of them out.

Btw, who are you getting your top from?

product called Vuplex will do a pretty good job, check at your local auto store.

Ahh I see. If you spend a little more you can get a good fitting VIS top for only $1275 shipped from gbperformance group buy right now. I just received mine today. They are even including the new rear seals with them to help so there are no leaks and stuff. I have only heard good things about this top so I went for it, maybe you should check it out.

that's a good price for the vis, back when i got my cheaper chaser top the vis was going for about $500 higher than chaser's, now the gap is only like a hundred bucks.

great for the aussie guys, wonder if there is a local place in the usa
http://www.vuplex.com.au/pages/howitworks.html

How it works

The product works using five functions in one quick action.


1.It cleans using safe ingredients that won’t damage plastic surfaces.


2.It applies a fine coating of wax that gives the surface protection from micro scratching.


3.The wax acts as a barrier against water (hydrophobic) and other atmospheric conditions that cause aging and a break down of clarity.


4.Static that is built up in the plastic surface and attracts other abrasive material such as dust, is controlled by VuPlex’s® anti-static properties.


5.VuPlex® polishes to a high shine and restores the lustre and “new look” to the surface. The finish is not sticky or greasy and can be achieved in mere seconds.
