Curious about what specifically you mean by "chaffing". I've never heard, nor would I describe, the haze/film this this way (re: chaffing). Just want to make sure your talking the same, common issue.

FWIW, I've used the Meguires product with great success, although I've never had a real bad haze issue.

On my 2000 Boxter there are about three skinned places on the rear glass that appear to be more than mear hazing and or discoloration (yellowing/fogging) of plastic. I have seen that also but these are actual rubbed spots where the glass is touching something when collapsed. These spots look as though someone took some OO steel wool or 2000 emery and rubbed them (even though I know that didn't cause this).
Tks.,

shows 7.97 for the Novus kit : ) Wonder if the plexus will do the same job since its a tad cheaper.

Assuming it's good stuff, the same outfit has the same product in 8 oz bottles (instead of the 2 ouncers):

(I HOPE it's good stuff...based on some of the recommendations in this thread, I just ordered some!)

sounds like my 02's window has the same issue. looks like someone rubbed a little too hard to get something off the plastic at one point in its former life.
I use Plexus, and use it liberally. Seems to help, but does not last more than a couple months (daily driver, in Florida sun/heat/humidity every day). Big can lasts a while.
I am still searching for a "paste" for the center of the window (fold area) to see if I can get that to look better. (a neighbor told me BMW makes a good product?) I also tried 303 from Marine West store and had about the same result. I believe Plexus and 303 are similar products?
Spray on the plexus, let it soak in a bit, soft towel dry it (don't use micro towel- it's a little too abrasive INHO.)
when I start really noticing the scratches I usually just drop the top

I use Plexus on the visors of my Suomy & Arai helmets because it's a nice, fine polish.

But to remove hazing from the plastic rear window, Novus is the answer. Novus is a 3-step system which includes a micro abrasive compound. Finished off with a polish
