Attention NA owners: tip of cleanning your rear window

Me · Postby Me » Sat Sep 15, 2007 9:44 pm

Hello,

Just want to share my expereince of a product called \"shower power\". I have just used a small amount of this product to clean my plastic rear window. The dirt is gone with just a couple wipe and a rinse. My rear window is clear again.

It just cost $5 and 1 minute to do the cleaning. It is available from Coles.

Disclaimer: I don't own the product nor the company shares. :mrgreen:

Ta for the tip.
I might give it a shot in the morning.

btw, it is also quite good at cleaning showers too :mrgreen:

mine has a bit of clouding / scratching in the plastic, i think coz the previous owner would drop the top without unzipping the window. reckon this will clear that up a bit? or is there any other product that can fix this?

Meguiars has a Clear Plastic Cleaner and a Clear Plastic Polish that I reckon works great on rejuvenating the rear window...not sure how it works on showers tho.

Yeah I have used that for a number of years......one thing to note though while the window will be sparkling clear it will still become brittle over time and may eventually snap......don't ask how I know that..

Fatty if your rear window is clouding up, just use an abrasive polish to get rid of that. I use Mothers Mag and Aluminium polish on my rear window sometimes, and it comes up great.

I also have meguiars plastx polish which works great too, but its not very good for deep scratches.

The PlastX polish doesn't do squat for my window

Might try some showerpower tomorrow

even better just replace the roof with a later model one with a glass window and demister that fits right on the car and u can always see out of it and dont need to unzip anything to take off the roof so no time wasting

But a can of polish is soooooooooo much cheaper than a new top!

And then you couldn't have the top up with the rear window down

well if it is warm enough to have the back window down then the whole roof should be off or r u one of those people who have a convertible just to say u have one but dont use it the way you should

apart from the cost issue, the glass window doesn't fit my car coz i have a rollbar. so it's plastic window all the way for me, i don't have a choice.
