Meguiars' Plastx for Convertible Windows
I have a minor scratch and scuff on a very nice convertible rear plastic (flexible) window. Has anyone used this product to clean things up?

Rick,
I believe Plastx supersedes the separate bottles of cleaner and polish.
BTW, a bit of heresy in the thread I guess. The question relates to my "new" C3 (1974) with a very nice Haartz Stayfast canvas roof that I would like to keep nice. But the crux of the question applies to C2s as well.

What is all that WHITE STUFF????????????????
Have used a product named "Blue Magic Plastic & Plexiglass Cleaner and Light Scratch Remover" for many years (with good results). Same company that makes Blue Magic metal polish.
Edit: Cannot find this product listed anymore.

Is that made by the old " Blue Coral" company. I used that back in the late 60's. Lot of work but long lasting!

And no, Blue Coral and Blue Magic are 2 different companies, but the Blue Coral website does have a nice pic of a C1 on it (have to click on the center "Blue Coral emblem" until it come up):

If you are referring to the white spots on the canvas top, I used RaggTopp cleaner and fabric protectant with a terry cotton towel that left a lot of belly button fluff. Need a better material.

Paul,
Glad that snow isn't all still there, we don't have any left an hour south. You might also stop by a motorcycle dealer and ask what they recomend to clean facemasks if the Plastik doesn't work.

Well scratch the Blue Magic Plastic Cleaner. Did a web search and could not find it any more.
And no, Blue Coral and Blue Magic are 2 different companies, but the Blue Coral website does have a nice pic of a C1 on it (have to click on the center "Blue Coral emblem" until it come up):

Never used the Mequiars plexiglass/plastic cleaner but have used the BMW convertible glass cleaner with excellent results on the my C2 convertible top and hard top too.
Funny someone mentioned Blue Coral. Still have 3 unopened cans and about 1/2 way through one can of the original paste wax. Had them for about 17 yrs at the time my father told me that is what he used to get a great shine back in his day (1950's). Wasn't easy to find but bought all the cans I could find back then. Use it only on the "good" cars.
Nice looking C3.

Thanks for the reply. BMW will not make such a product themselves. It would be interesting to know where they source. For example, GM Final Detailer has a Meguiar's logo beside the AC Delco logo.
