Default Foggy Rear plastic Window

So I just bought my s2k...The only problem with it is that the rear plastic window is pretty foggy, cloudy, faded...whatever its called.

So my question is, Is there any solutions to my problem? Heres a pic.

Meguiar's makes two products, a Plastic Cleaner and a Plastic Polish. I want to say off the top of my head #10 and #17. You can clean that up quite a bit using these products.

plastx will work, but easiest would be to use a porter cable (saves your arms from doing all the work!)

evilgiggles - there are many detailers in the bay area. i'm sure jake (ushjt) or aaron (espelirs2k) would be able to help you. i would give them a pm about repairing your plastic window before you look into replacing it.

I agree with Tekstar, I have seen before and after's that are much worse than this.

The correct products and process can do alot to restore the plastic window.

Also, make sure you have a towel/mat in the 'well' so the window doesn't sit directly on the hard plastic 'well'. You may also want to slip a towel in the 'fold' of the window when you lower your top. This prevent the window from rubbing itself.

Plast-x will work. You can try Novus products and well as 210 plastic cleaner.

Mortorcycle dealers might have something also, as windscreens for bikes are mostly plastic!!
