I use Novus #1 and #2. You can look up this product on the Internet. The stuff works AWESOME!

My bro in law has an older porsche with a plastic rear window so I asked him and he gave me a bottle of "griots garage plastic polish" which was recomended by porsche. Now I know we arent driving porsches but I figure the plastic is probably very similar. I use it and it works great. You have to apply it with a 100% cotton cloth, but it wont scratch.

How much did you pay for the new plasitc window? Did you get a whole new top or just have a window put in? I bought my car used and would love a new back window.

You'll find a variety of plastic window cleaners at a boating store.

I use an old diaper or a very soft, worn, all cotton washcloth, when applying products, or a very soft microfiber towel to dust it off. (On my '01 plastic window)

plexus and this yellow anti-lint cloth. i got it at an detailling shop where they claimed that this was the BEST cloth to clean windows with.. no streaks, no lint, just beautiful results everytime!

i've also used a medium pile microfiber cloth too.. but i gotta admit, it's all about the Plexus.

Once you get it clean,use a roof well mat on the inside,and static cling window tint,on the outside.
It will stay clean a lot longer,and wont scratch as much.

Oh and go to a fabric store and get some soft black felt like material and velcro it down in the top well so when you drop the top the plastic won't scratch against the plastic well bottom.
