Anyone have any great remedies to clean the back window so it’s crystal clear?

thanks. Just read up on it. Looks simple enough. It’s a bank burner item at this point but now I know what I have to do. Where do you keep your car? NJ or Florida? I’m an hour and 20 minutes east of Tampa

Plexus is used for a lot of different kinds of plastic.
May work for you.

Plexus seems to be the most recommended treatment, both for restoration and preventative application. I applied it to my convertible window inside and out, though my window was already very clear. I also tried it on my other car’s plastic headlights but didn’t see any appreciable change in the cloudiness of the lenses.

I’ll give one of these a shot. Thanks for replies. Can always count on this forum.

This is what airplane owners with plexiglass windows use. Good stuff. Won't scratch.
