Good morning all,

Was wondering what you guys recommend to clean the rear plastic window on the AP1's, I'm about to use 303 on the actual canvas but what about the window itself? or is it shagged as is?
Looking at geting a new roof with the glass rear later in the year...

Thanks guys!:thumbsup:

depending on which one you buy and currency landed about $650-$700 AUD. DIY install FTW.

im guessin by now some of the earlier model s2000's would need their roofs replaced due to wear and tear...

yeh i would definately look into it if my roof starts to look like its wants to rip, but at the moment the roof is still in good nick.

my car hardly ever see's sun light, so its got afew more years in it. hopefully it'll be even cheaper then!

I actually purchased Meguairs Mirror Glaze quality stuff today at work, order in only.

Specific plastic roof cleaner, and a specific plastic roof conditioner.
Will remove all light scratches out of the plastic it says, so I'm going to give them a try. I just forgot to bring them home with me.... :(

plexus everyone said it works great but dosnt work on mine, i think it left marks on my plastic. 303 wprks the best cant go wrong with it
I use VuPlex and PlastX. Spray VuPlex on, covering the surface with a fine layer and let it settle for a few moments. Wipe it all off with a fresh rag.
Apply PlastX to plastic - start off by squirting a little in a straight line and work it into the plastic. Follow the instructions for the best result.

When I bought my s2000 the back window was toast. It was cloudy, you couldn't see out of it and it looked like someone had a crack at it with toothpaste & a scourer.

The above combination cleared it up. There's always the crease point. Once that's damaged, that's it, you can't clean it up.

I also use the same combination on head lights - works fantastic! VuPlex is really good, and PlastX is really good as well if you've got the right applicators.
