Sorry to bother mate but I can't post for some reason!



Am just wondering I have a softop wrangler with plastic windows... Is there anyway to get light scratches out of the plastic windows???? don't wanna pay the $690 Australian per window!!


That price seems excessive. I don't know the exchange rate or the amount of gouging that goes on, but a Bestop tinted window kit for my YJ costs about $150.00 in the States. Contact

or another Bestop vendorand ask whether they ship overseas. Be warned however that new windowsacquire scratches almost immediately. As far as removing scratches, Ihaven't heard of any reliable method. Heat gun? Too risky... Earle

Thier stuff has always worked well for me.

I saw some stuff that's supposed to take the scratches out of the plastic windows in a JW-Whipme catalog that I was reading just this morning.

Hi all, I am a car hauler and when I asked the body shop manager at a Jeep dealership, he told me their secret. Use an electric buffer with some good wax. He told me they will get the small scratches out and will look like new. Shhhhhh! Its a secret! Just between me and you.

Hello again Bill, I dont remember what wax he told me to use, but he did say automotive wax. Just a follow-up Dennis '02 TJ
