There is a PDF on the total BMW mag website (which is off line at the mo), if you drop me an email I'll send it to you. It out lines the different options for the rear screen and the different products and says which is best, drop me a mail widget@blueyonder.co.uk

you could try Mer. available in halfords etc. not as abrasive as some cleaners. work it into the plastic window in a small area first then polish off. if it doesn't leave scratches then do the whole window...inside and out. i have had loads of old convertibles and found this the best, but take care as some windows could scratch. should take about 30mins to do both sides.

Hindsight isnt the miracle worker it leads you to believe however it keeps the rear screen supple and i've noticed the crumple lines after the roof has been away disapear quicker since I've been using it.

I phoned up on Monday and had a chat with the guy but he came out with a strange remark that made me wonder.It does not work on the odd handfull of e30 rear screens, that means to me that it dont work at all.
I am going to get a rep mohair hood instead when the time comes.
