cleaning old plastic

Share this page

Not very faded but I cleaned the haze off the plastic using a damp cotton cloth and rubbing compound for clear coat paint.
 
I've recently used Novus to clean-up a badly browned rear plastic window on a 1997 Miata original soft-top. Worked very well in this case.

Agree. Novus 3-part works well. But if it's really bad, I use a fiberglass cleaner (Gelgloss) first, then follow with Novus 3-2-1. Also works well on old turntable covers. A friend gave me an onld Thorens turntable that looked like he stored a cinder block on top (he blamed the kids!) Came out very nice, not new but close. Takes a lot of arm and a gentle touch.

X3 great stuff.
 
Meguiars headlight restore works great for cleaning the plastic windows in the top.
