Polishing convertable rear windows

Guy's I'm looking for the method to polish the rear window on convertables? The plastic fold up kind. They all fog up from the sun. I saw post on one of these sites a guy's polished out the back window and it came out pretty good but I'm trying to find it and I can't? Thanks

Re: Polishing convertable rear windows

I think there are some specialized products for that. I used Mother's plastic polish on my S2000's back window and was pleased with it at the time. I'd suggest 303 or another good UV inhibitor to keep it from hazing up once you get it clean.

I use Plexus on plastic windows then follow up with OCW for the sun blockers.

I use Meguiar's M17 plastic cleaner followed by M10 plastic polish.

I think maybe you were looking for the Ferrari correction I did last week?, anyway here is the pics and I used CG wet mirror finish and applied it with a GI 100ppi foam applicator and lot's of elbow grease.
