djomlas / Travis,

I sent you both a PM but I thought I would share with the group as well...

Novus works great on plastic, but will not work on real glass.

I use Plexus to clean the rear window. I intend to pick up some Renovo for the scratches this year ( thanks for the suggestions, Perfectlap ! )

Nick

How do you like the Plexus for your rear window? I've heard this stuff is the best from many sources. I tried it, and i got decent results, but its not as clear as I'd like. Perhaps I'm going about the application/removal wrong. How were your results and how did you apply/remove?

How's this for oddness:



There is a HAIR... INSIDE my windscreen!! Yes... it's not stuck to the inside, or the outside... it's IN the glass! Given it's a laminate, someone lost a strand. It's about 1.5" long, in the top driver's side position... probably light brown...

If I bought the car new, I probably would have had them replace the glass... just because it annoys me sometime... hehehe

That is crazy odd! are you sure its not a deep scratch with brown dirt collected in it. Do you see a root?

chaudanova,

I have been using the Plexus for cleaning the rear plastic window for some time now. It seems to do a good job, and leaves the plastic very soft and pliable. It doesn't seem to help much with the clouding, though, that is what I might try the Renovo or the Novus.

I spray the Plexus on a soft white cotton towel, clean the window, then I use another towel to remove the residue.

Hope this helps...

Nick
