Hey guys, Well Ive had a pavement soft top for a under 6 months I reckon, just starting to get one of the blurry fuzz patches appearing in the back roll down window. Just wandering how you can prevent that?
Also, how do you clean muss off the canvas? I seriously can not get it off, its got mud stained all over it.
Any other stuff you can paint wipe on it to make it last longer too? Not keen on replacing them annually.
Regards,
Shane

I used a can of spray called PLEXUS to get mine back to good condition. I'll find you a link.
EDIT: Link
Plexus
That stuff got the clear window in my zook back from the horrible mess it was when I bought it, to the see through window it is now.

On my fastback, used to get the dry dirt look. Armour all masks im like tyreshine on tyres. Another thing, my 1/4 windows rubbed on the pillar support little bars. I rubbed the rubmark with autosol polish. Worked a treat prob abit heavy duty though... I guess any finer grit polish wil clean up a window. But autosol also works like a plastic polish eg. on yellowing plastic lights. Such as soarers and supras.

spray on tyre black works for a while, the best stiff Iv found is a rub on gooey stuff that brings it back to A1 a treat.. almost like a thick paint is the best way to describe it..
Windows, Eucalyptus oil may also work for removing the yellowing.I used the autosol method on mine, but it quickly reappeared.. Iv recently sent my half door uppers to have new canvas n windows made up.. Will ask upon collection as to whats recommended as a cleaner for both the canvas and plastic windows..
