Cleaning soft-top plastic windows

[Merc 420]

Here is my top tip for looking after soft-top windows.
With the soft-top up wash the plastic windows to remove any dirt and grime, then dry the plastic off using a micro fibre cloth. Then use Hindsight two stage cleaner/polish.(not cheap, but gives quite a few applications)

Hindsight cleaner can be hard to remove if you get any on the fabric so best to mask up round the edges to make the application easy.
First stage: a small amount of cleaner should be applied with a soft cotton cloth rubbing in gently until the cleaner virtually vanishes.

Second stage: apply the Hindsight polish swirling it over the plastic then quickly removing it with a micro fibre cloth before it dries.

Remove the masking tape and clean any excess Hindsight off with a damp cloth.

Then finally I use a hair dryer to heat the plastic which removes any creases caused from when the soft top has been down.

Soft-top plastic is very hard to keep pristine,but with the correct cleaning It's condition can be maintained to a very good standard.

Thats look amazing. Particularly like the idea of using a hairdryer to get the creases out.

Do you know if it works well where the plastic is starting to go 'foggy'?
