OK How are you meant to clean the plastic window. Mine looks bad and scratched, not sure how as I have never touched it! I own zymol plastic window cleaner, and it talks about a lint free cloth, no idea what that is, is cotton lint free? Do microfibre cloths work on those windows?

Bottom line is what are you all using!

Hi Simon

Properly get blasted by those in the know but from my days of riding bikes ( 50 thousand miles a year, I used to work for a living! ) always found that best way to cover the small marks was by polishing with a soft cloth with pledge or any other silicon based polish.

Cheers Grant.

I really need specifics as I am complete numpty! Which Mr Muscle and more importantly what cloth? Do microfibre cloths contain lint? Help. (More impressed that I am replying from a blackberry whilst on the tube!)

When I had a Griff I used to use BMW's plastic rear window cleaner - works a treat (get it from any BMW dealer).

p.s also replying from a blackberry (it's new, I'm sure the novelty will wear off quickly).

A lot of Honda S2000 owners swear by the BMW cleaner too - I have the Zymol cleaner, but haven't found it that effective.
