Default Convertible rear window cleaner

I just bought a very original (37,000 mile) 1968 convertible. It still has the original top which is in really nice shape. The rear window is pretty nice too so I'd like to gently clean and polish the window so it will look good and be as soft as possible to avoid cracking etc. What cleaner/polish
do you recommend ? Rich jcmsp062@aol.com

If its a plastic or plexiglass type material, you may want to look into Plexus or our McKee #37 Plex-All.

Plexus is great stuff for maintaining convertible top rear plastic windows as well as the old hardtop plexiglass windows

Novus is an excellent product to remove fine scratches. It comes in 3 variants of grit depending on how much you're trying to clear up. My older Corvette hardtops and softops cleaned up nicely.

I have a 1965 soft top. My rear clear window had a grit you could feel although it was clear, on a sunny day you would see a haze through it. I purchased Griots windshield claybar for my front windshield and it worked fantastic. No more hazy on sunny days through the windshield or through the back clear window on my soft top. After claybar, wipe down and use something gentle to clean it. I use Invisible Glass on all my windows including the rear clean one. No ammonia and says it's safe for window tint so it's fine for clear window on soft top. The other product someone mentioned, Mcee 37 Plexall I have not used but read reviews online and it scores some pretty great reviews too. BTW, the green 65 and red 61 in these pics are amazing looking
