what is the best one for the rear plastic window for the E30? - my windows are still ok but could do with a scratch remover and something to make it better to see out of -

ive also seen xeropol and renovo for sale - any comments on these products for the above application??



cheers

Cool.

The Meguiars soft plastic restorer and polish (two different products with two different grades of severity) also work well.

They're also good for scratched DVDs.

I've taken possession of a BAUR 318i (1989) with a rear screen that might as well have been made of wood, it was that poor. A colleague who sold a MG told me to use BRASSO as it worked on his plastic screen b4 he sold the car.....
.....cannot find BRASSO in Portugal so I found DURAGLIT (brasso in a rag I guess) and used that.
Result: not perfect but now I can see the bugger before I reverse over him/her in the carpark. LOL

Hope this helps,

Nige

BTW, Renovo hood proofing and recolouring products are great too.

BTW2 dont use Brasso on DVDs. It's too scratchy.
