Default What do you use to clean your transparent top?

Do you maintain this roof the same way you would the regular painted roof?
Remember it is plastic and can scratch.

Default How about Zaino?

So treat it just like you would any top or painted top. It is plastic so you don't want to scratch it. Rain X?

Novus plastic polish available at cycle shops (H-D, etc.). I also use it on the headlamp covers.

I have found that high heels with just a dab of zaino on the tips works well

Zaino or RejeX. NEVER use RainX on plastic! I think it says that on the bottle.

I prefer high heels on a girl. Not on my car finish But I think I will use the Zaino on the transparent top. I also have a can of plexus cleaner and protectant so I can try that too but Zaino should do the job the whole thing Z-5 mixed with ZFX, Z-2 mixed with ZFX and top it off with Z-8
