congrats! clean gpw ap1

you can try plastx by hand, but best results will be through a machine. consider picking up a porter cable so you can polish the plastic as well as the rest of your car. plexus will clean it, but it won't get rid of any haziness.

or, give jake (ujsht) a pm and ask him about his legendary details
thanks. ill try that. i do my own detailing so i have a udm and rotary as well. ill give that a try and probably get rid of the swirls on the car.

Welcome, if the scuffs/scratches from the bedframe hitting your bumper aren't too bad you can probably also polish those out.

If you wanna get a bottle fast and not wait for shipping, a lot of motorcycle shops carry Plexus. It is by far the best plastic cleaner. Call around and see what shop has it, but I know the motorcycle dealership in Berkeley on Gilman carries it.

from what i read, the Plexus only helps clean it, not actually cure it from haze.

Local auto stores should carry Plexus. They are very popular so finding one would not be hard.

Go to the "Wash And Wax forum" and use the search engine.
