I couldn't find Plexus anywhere. Checked local boating stores, etc. Even tried the Bass Pro Shops superstore at a local supermall. Nothing. Most people I asked never heard of it. I couldn't even find the Mequiar's stuff. I think I ended up ordering it off the web.

Plexus is a polish.
To get rid of the fogging/plasticizing, you have to use a cleaner like Meguier's Clear Plastic Cleaner or the 3M Plastic Cleaner (same stuff!) that Honda recommends.
I mask off my top around the window prior to using the 3M cleaner. It can leave a nasty, difficult to remove stain on the top material if you are not careful.
YMMV.

Ok,I know that I have posted more than a couple of posts stating the superiority of Griots products. Well, I have used there plastics products on the rear window and have not been satisfied with the results - hard to use and the results are good, but not up to what I was expecting - still some clouding. Yesterday I went to a boat store and bought some Plexus - easy to use and the results are amazing - I don't think the rear window was this clear on the day I picked up the car almost a year and a half ago. I have been coverted

My window was fogged up only after 2 months of ownership. Used 3M polisher and cleaner. No problem applying it or taking it off. Looks like glass now. Unfortunately, there are still two horizontal lines in the plastic caused by the roof braces pressing down on the plastic.

I have used
3M Plastic Cleaner 051131-39017
3M Plastic Polish 051131-39010
as specified in the service bulletin by Honda and it works great!
See http://www.3m.com/market/automotive/product5.html
Just be sure to get in on a group buy
for the roof well mat and get something to put in between
the plastic when it folds to keep it from scratching tiny vertical lines
