Refreshing rear plastic windshield
I'll be looking to upgrade my soft top to a Robbins fabric soft top in Tan and a glass rear window but without the demisters (personal preference) in the near future but until then, my current plastic rear windshield has seen better days and was yellowing. Driving with the top up and trying to see who's behind you via the rear view mirror became next to impossible because the windshield was so hazy from the yellowing of the plastic that I couldn't make out much.
I bought a can of VuPlex plastic cleaner and polish for about $15.00 and decided to refresh my plastic windshield until I purchase the tan soft top to replace my current one. First you will need to clean the windshield to get rid of any dirt and then once it's a nice clean surface, you just spray the VuPlex, work it in with a microfibre cloth and wipe away. Results speak for themselves really. Cheap and easy.
Before. Notice the yellowing and hazing of the plastic.
Another angle of the yellowing and hazing.
VuPlex plastic cleaner and polish.
Clean the windshield first with some glass cleaner or soapy water and rag to lift all the dirt. Then apply the VuPlex. Spray liberally across the plastic. You will need to do this on the inside as well.
After. Clear plastic and no more yellow.
Another angle. No more yellow.
I can finally see what's behind me now when I have the top up.
