Plexus is available over the net from www.pyramid-plastics.co.uk, and a large can has lasted me for 18months (though I do have a hardtop on for 5months of the year.
Definitely worth getting a Muz roofwell mat or something similar also. Most scratches on my roof seemed to be caused by the roof sitting on the plastic in the roof well, the mat protects the screen by providing a soft surface for it to fold into.

I use a window polish from Renovo (tel 01444 443277) (www.renovointernational.com). The company also do soft top cleaners, revivers and ultra proofer.

I use Meguiars #17 Clear Plastic polish to remove fine scrathces and Plexus on the exterior of the window. Inside I just use clean water in a spray. IMO the most important aspect of cleaning the plastic window is to only use 100% cotton cloths as can be sourced from www.autofanatics.com I only let these touch the rear window and they are fantastic for drying it after washing

Plexus Plexus Plexus and a clean cloth. Be careful on the choice of cloth as some are remarkably abrasive.
I use a soft cloth (originally it was a large record (LP) duster). The sort that is safe for cleaning spectacles although most seem to be on the small side!
Cleaning the inside is bloody hard work though. I usually put the roof into the position where it is almost vertical as I can better access the inside to clean it.
A mat for the well is a must if you are to stop the scratching. I have used a scarf for the last 2.5 years and my rear window is still in pretty good condition.
Muz has some nice mats though......
