Default Cleaning the rear plastic window

Consensus on the board seems to be that a BMW product is the best for cleaning the plastic rear screen. If this is the case, is it a product that you can walk into a BMW dealer and buy off the shelf or do you need to pre-order etc.?. Screen looking decidedly mucky/opaque so time for a clean. Used to use an autoglym product (for motorbike helmet visors I think!) which worked OK but if BMW product is good then will give that a go!. Any advice?!!. ta!!!!

The BMW stuff is pretty good, prob the best I have tried. When I originally bought it I had to wait a day before they got it delivered to my local BMW dealer, so no real probs with getting it. You might be able to even order it over the phone. It only takes a few secs to get it from murky to super clear, definately worth a try!

[QUOTE]On the UK side of the boards, one of the products we have found to be very good is actually made by BMW and is available from their dealerships and costs
