finishing lexan t-tops
I'm just about done sanding my lexan t-tops. What type of protectant/ gloss aid should I put on them? Would something like that plasticX or regular wax? Just want to know so I can keep the shine.

There is a pdf article on refinishing them somewhere on tgo. I will try and find it sometime tonight. The only changes I have made so far was using an electric palm sander and not using the micromesh.
Edit:
Here is the original link, that I based my work on. The pdf no longer works, which had a set of useful pictures if I remember correctly.

By lexan you mean lightweight and not glass? es stupid question but I didnt think you could lexan your t-tops. I (in the future) will be buying FULL lexan windows even front and rear windshields. It would save me around 77lbs. that plus my rear seats and ac accessories.....I lose the weight of myself in the car. AWESOME. Just wondering because Percy doesnt sell anything for the T-Tops but you can have them make a custom size and thickness and have it shipped to you waiting final measurments. If only I knew how to take out and put in windows. DAMN. The kits range from $1,115.00-$1,425.00.

Mine feel like 20lbs each. They're pretty heavy. Anyway I thought buying all new windows would be nice so this way I can replace all the weather stripping too. SWEET!
anyone know if you can still purchase t-tops for thirdgens from gm? where you can get them new if possible? and if it's possible to get new oem replacement parts from gm or somewhere else?
i have a project t-top car and i can't find a nice set to save my life. i'm tired of buying used.

Yeah I feel you on that one. I want to buy ALL NEW but cant because of the year of my car. Like right now I need a VATS sterring column but nobody has any new ones and that makes me a little mad because not I have to buy used and there is never a guarentee in the used business.
