What is the best thing to protect from sun. My old top had sun spots. Also, any way to keep plastic looking clear. I heard even if you take care of it, it still would get cloudy. Is that true??

 

check out this thread:

Also for the rear plastic window, you can use Plexus (which can be found at Motorcycle parts store, or boating supply stores such as West Marine).

 

Cover the car as much as you can. It only takes about 3 minutes (literally) to put on, and the benefits are numerous:

Protect surfaces from UV exposure, including paint, top, rear window and tail lamps that tend to fade. The cover also helps hide the car when in public, and adds a layer to fight door dings.

For the plastic window......use a "roof well mat" that sits in the rear tray to protect the window when folded. In addition, a simple polish like the one mentioned or "Blue Magic Acrylic Polish and Light Scratch Remover", etc. These products go on like a paste wax that you buff off after it dries. Clears old windows and definitely keeps a new one looking perfect. My window is still clear as a bell.

 

I want to say ditto about using 303 on the top, and just about everything else --- vinyl, leather, light lenses, and even the back window! 303 somehow manages to get into the pores of even plastic materials and soften and renew it. Provides UV 40 protection. I softened (and cleared) up my plastic back window with it and finished off the job of getting rid of the few smears 303 left by using Plexus.

For the top, I find the best way to apply 303 is with a slightly damp sponge, then wipe the top off with an old towel. Works great.

Thanks,

this just came up in another post i just replied to. head to www.sportscarcare.com if you wanna try out 303. raggtop works well also.

 

I got "turned on" to 303 when I bought my vinyl truck bed cover. The cover itself carried a 3 year warranty. The literature said "use 303 if you want it to last as long as your truck." It also said Armor All or "similar products" would VOID THE WARRANTY. It went on to explain that Armor All and similar leave a short term shine, but have a long term drying effect. Since I am not a chemist and don't know what products are "similar to Armor All" I have always used 303 on it. Six years later, the truck bed cover is as new.

Thanks,
