Default BMW Plastic screen cleaner

Hi Guys,

After checking out the forum over the weekend I rang BMW up and ordered a tube of the rear window paste. I asked for the cleaner used on z3 plastic windows.

I nipped to the dealership an hour ago and was given a bottle of cleaner. Whilst having my lunch i noticed that its actually glass cleaner and when i checked on here the part number is totally different.

I took it back to BMW and the snooty gimp behind the desk said that its the replacement for the paste as they no longer stock it. I asked if it will do the same job and he says yes.

Looking at it though, it just says glass cleaner. the part number is 83 12 0 009 881. Has anyone used this or am I (as suspected) being mugged off by BMW?

Thanks in advance

I have a part used tube of the BMW plastic screen cleaner. Worked pretty well, but be careful to not get it on the hood.
I've had a replacement hood with a glass screen so don't need it anymore.

PM your address if you want it.

any more half tubes of plastic screen cleaner which aren't needed would be much appreciated, can't believe I missed out by 15minutes! I can't find a decent one anywhere..

I've owned 5 rags tops, 3 of which had plastic screens. You realy don't need all these plastic type polishes (which I've tried), a good clean with AG SRP will do the job just the same - remember it's the inside that tends to cloud not the outside like most people think.
