Polishing back window? Any tips?
The back window on my 'vert is pretty cloudy and starting to yellow. I picked up a bottle of Meguiar's Plastx last night, says it's a "clear plastic cleaner and polish". Even has a pic on the bottle of a convertible back window with the phrase "removes haze and cloudiness". Anything I should know before I go try this stuff out?

I have tried the Meguiar's Plastx a few times on my back window. It is OK although I think it is a little on the abrasive side. If your window is yellowing it might help. I am not real sure a cleaner can get yellow out though. The last time I used this cleaner I used it with a very wet cloth and on a wet window. It seemed to work better this way.
I have also tried Renovo and Bluemagic Plastic & Plexiglass cleaner. I was not overly thrilled with either one.
The best cleaner I have used is One Grand Plastic Polish and Conditioner. I only tried the other products when I ran out of this stuff about a year ago. It is kind of hard to find. I orginally bought a bottle from a guy that dealt with BMWs. I recently did find a place online to order it from and have since placed an order for more. Here is the link: http://www.topoftheline.com/onegranplasp.html
Thanks for the link to the thread with info on the spoiler trim extensions. It was very helpful. Your convertable looks great by the way.

Here's a link to some BMW plastic polish on ebay that I have used. It's the best I've ever tried. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-C...QQcmdZViewItem
