Default Lexan window

I have a question for the owners that have Lexan windows on their Mugen tops ? How do you dry them or clean them after a car wash ? I have heard they scratch very easily ,any tips would be great !

"Gently dry or go for a quick drive" product called plexus works well to protect, but it definitely scratches easily. No marker pens writing in it at all as will leave a ghost imprint.

I bought my Mugen top used, I gave it an initial polish with Meguiars Plast-X which cleaned up light surface scratches nicely - interior and exterior.

The obvious first rule is that I never touch the window when it's dry.

After a wash I will just pat dry it, or wipe gently with a microfiber as long as the window is still wet. Then I proceed to protect it with a coat of Plexus, I use it on the interior as well as the exterior. You basically spray it on and wipe with a dry microfiber towel until it is clear and dry.

If the window is dry and dusty and I am not planning on washing the vehicle I will spritz the window with soapy water mix from a spray bottle (every detailer should have one or two), then wipe or pat dry as above. I finish with a coat of Plexus. Plexus leaves a protective wax finish, and will not attract dust, so the window stays clean longer.

I have given the window a coat of Autoglym wax in the past, but I don't do that too often, maybe once a year. Using Plexus is my favourite regular maintenance product for the lexan window, and can be used other plastic parts such as light fixtures etc.

Heated and filtered, but for the most part yes. It's an awesome little tool to have for sure.
