Default Plastic Rear Window - AIO!

I was washing the car today and decided the rear window needed a little cleaning... So I busted out the AIO and a SFX Pro applicator and went at it. Wow, did it ever clean up nicely! The yellow side of the applicator helped to scrub and I think with more effort would have helped to remove some of the finer scratches. As it is, the AIO polished out all the dirt, film, water spots, etc. and it now looks crystal clear (minus the deep wear marks).

Yet another reason to love AIO.

Just thought I'd share.

Klasse All-In-One, comes in a red bottle. It's an acrylic cleaner/"wax" (no actual wax and very little actual protection) that you can use on just about anything. Its main use for me is on the paint, but it works on glass, metal, wheels, bare metal, hard & soft exterior plastic, rubber, etc. Removes oxidized paint, the oxidized layer of old rubber (say, around windows), corrosion, brake dust... Great stuff.

Yeah, we need more feedback on AIO. I tried the Megauirs Plastx...and got no where on the rear window, applying and wiping it off three times....I think I will try my Scratch X later on tonight.

Well, the PlastX like the ScratchX have diminishing abrasives. Those need to be "worked in" - it's not a wipe on/wipe off type of deal. ScratchX is actually made for removing fine scratches from the paint, so I think I'd stick to the PlastX.

Personally I've not had great luck with either PlastX or Plexus removing scratches - both do a decent job of cleaning up the window, but scratch removal? Not so much. I think even if AIO would do the job to remove scratches (it has very very very fine abrasives) it would need to be done by machine (i.e. PC w/spot pad).
