Rear Window (Roadster)
The fogging on polyvinyl occurs when the plasticizers in the material evaporate due to UV radiation and heat exposure. The plasticizers maintain its softness and flexibility; a good plastic polish (Plexus) will remove scratches and the fogginess and maintain its flexibility.
To avoid friction of the vinyl rear window material of a roaster or convertible, place a 100% cotton micro fibre towel, front and back, before putting the top down. Do not use terry cloth towelling, as this is abrasive and will cause scratches. This will also avoid any transfer of product to the rear window from the tops fabric dressing.
Avoid putting the top down when the material is damp or wet as this encourages mould and mildew to form
The material used for the 'plastic' windows in convertible tops, soft-tops, is a specialized type of vinyl called 'Pressed Polished Sheets'. This material is actually composed of two layers of non-colour vinyl laminated together under intense pressure and high heat; this process squeezes out all the impurities and renders it optically clear. If the glass begins to separate from the fabric; use a suitable adhesive and reaffix before it separates
To restore clarity use a specialized polymer (1z einszett Plastic Deep Cleaner) it does this by making the light go straight through the almost invisible, tiny scratches which are still there causing the light to bend slightly, reducing the clarity.
Application: spray on and then wipe completely dry. Using a second clean and dry micro fibre towel to remove any excess product and polish to a high gloss. This product provides an invisible, non-oily, protective finish that is repellent to dust, dirt, fingerprints, etc. Your treated vinyl will stay cleaner longer and clean up easier the next time you clean it. Periodic cleaning and treating with 303 Space Protectant to provide UV protection maintains this clarity and repellency
Renovo Liquid plastic window polish, restores transparency, removes cloudiness, reduces scratches and staining, cleans and conditions in minutes, wipe it on and polish it off
