welcome M-lo
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

AND heres the best bit!! u can use it on ur soft top window!! i eliminated yrs of built up road grime and got my hazy window back to perfectly clear.yay.


Hi m-lo & welcome to the nut house! Another vote for Paint Doctor here. It's the last resort before buffing compund in my experience - and if used carefully does a great job. Good idea using it on the plastic window too!

So the general consensus seems to be to buff out the scratches. Now the (noob) question is, how do I go about buffing them out and repairing them?
