milky screens on your sl se convertible soft top

[dinoy]

DIY i done today mixing your other(better!) half nail polish remover with water take a tea towel work on the inside with it damp with the solution

and then another clean tea towel to wipe clean should remove the milky stuff on your screen, do not push it for if it is ready to crack you will crack it.

hope this in this hot weather help all of us with the soft top on.

What mix of nail polish remover to water did you use? 50/50, 25/75?? Interested as the screen of my 968 cab was really milky when I bought it 2 years ago, got rid of most of the outside stuff with a small electric polisher and 2000 grit paint correction fluid, but had a mare trying to do the inside so still have an amount of milkiness I'd love to get rid of.

There's this stuff on eBay recommended by the MG club that has really good write-ups - anyone used it?

Your could try AG Super Resin Polish on the inside. I had a Boxster S that was cloudy and it worked a treat.

10 nail varrish 90% water, u need application cloth drying cloth and if your is foggy not yellow it would be good to use a towel to wipe as this help take out the cloudiness.

if not sure there are professional products (as above) which cost £5-7 to buy which is for this purpose.

mine was free and clear now.

so i am happy and saved money.

as always try certain area before doing everything so that it does not cause damage.

good luck

T-cut also works well for this task.

T-cut also works well for this task.

I was also told that by a guy who had restored an Aston Martin - and sold it at such a profit he bought his house! He said there are 2 types of T Cut, you have to use one first then the other - but I can't remember what the 2 types are called and which you use first!

Dinoy, I have some bad news for you - I tried 10% nail polish remover/90% water as you said, using a round cotton wool makeup removal pad - did nothing for the cloudiness so I got brave and tried neat nail polish remover - also did nothing.

I happened to have an old bottle of Meguires Crystal Clean stage 1 paint cleaner, so tried that - and it made a marked improvement to the screen. OK, it's not concourse, but it's noticably better than it was and perfectly acceptable to me.

I also spoke to Polyfacto, a well respected soft top and upholstery specialist whose work I know - they also said that nail polish remover (acetone) won't work. They then gave me an estimate of the cost of replacing the rear screen - which involves totally removing the hood - which made me wince.

So, sorry mate, but my tests do not replicate your success.

plain old Tcut in a red bottle worked for me.
