Its very expensive but is really good. The only problem is its difficult to use on the S2000. I used it once to clear the screen and now use Plexus.

I gave the hindsight to a mate who has an MX-5. Easy for him to use it as his window zips out.

Just used hindsight on the rear panel. Amazing results - this is with half the panel cleaned (dunno what happened to the hood colour, it was ok on the original pic!):



Right b@gger to apply to the inside, you need to be a contortionist, but well worth the effort. I now have a perfectly clear window.

Great pic - looks like it's the stuff for me - all my window looks like the bad half of yours...

Once you've got it clean, get yourself some Plexus from www.pyramid-plastics.co.uk

ChrisWell,

My rear window isn't too bad, except for the hairline scratches on the inside where the hood touches the rear plastic fasica when it folds away.
Yeah I know I should have a MUZ mat thing in there, but I got the car with these scratches already there.

How do you think the "hindsight" stuff would handle this?
Did your rear screen have these kind of marks/scratches?

Cheers

My rear screen had scratches on both the inside and outside.

The previous owner had used a scraper to remove frost and there were scratch marks up and down the window as well as seroius fold scuffing.

Hindsight removed all of these. I think it is an excellent product. The only problem is applying it to the inside. I'm very pleased with the results and will give it another go when my back has recovered

I bought some "Turtle Wax" plastic screen cleaner from Halfords which worked quite well.
