Convertible rear window plastic

Post by sublimemike »

Although this isn't on a mopar ( 70 vette) anyone know any magic solution to clean up the rear plastic window on a soft top that's 45 years old? The good news is it's not gone yellow as many of them do but just needs a bit more than soap and water. The rest of the soft top is in really good nick so I don't need a trimmer etc
Toothpaste maybe ??

Thanks

This:



and loads of elbow grease. :thumbright:

I use it all the time in my other hobby - pinball machine restoration, and it's very good on cloudy plastic. It comes in 3 grades - Novus 3 for heavy scratches, Novus 2 for finer scratches and 'cloudy' plastic, and then Novus 1 for final gloss/shine.

Well , that looks interesting. I'm guessing you used this on the score board panels on the pinballs that are acrylic I think? The table tops were glass if i remember. I grew up in a seaside resort and had a mis spent youth in the arcades. I loved the pinballs as long as the arcade owners hadn't wound the back feet too high. Anyone that's played them will know the steeper the table slope the faster the game ends. Give those penny falls a shove and get the alarm bells ringing.
