I like Plexus. I picked some up at my local West Marine store.

i used plexus before it works very good.. also last week i got a hold of some meguires "mirror glaze" clear plastic cleaner #17 i believe and a clear plastic detailer #18.. i used the cleaner 3 times (looks like most other compounds) on my window and it came out really clear. i wish i took before and after shots because it did make a huge difference.

I have found a product called Lexol to be the best. It contains no petroleum like almost ALL other plastic cleaners. Petroleum leaves a slick film that is hard to get off. Looks shiny but its no good. Lexol still gives a nice shine and doesnt leave you with that slimy film. But whatever u do dont use armorall

mooky- do you mean vinylex??

lexol is a leather care product, but they also make vinylex...

my first choice for clear plastic is plexus, which was discussed above. i like vinylex on the interior vinyl and the top.

I've had impressive results on my worn out '01 rear window...
...with the plastic cleaner & polish from "Griot's Garage".

In fact, everything I've ever used from them is amazing...
