[TR] Cleaning Plexiglas WindWings

[Alex]

I have a plexiglass rear window for my 59 TR3A hard top. When I got it, it 
was badly scratched to the point where you could hardly see through it.

I was just finishing the restoration of the car and had just completed 
buffing out the clear coat paint finish. In doing this I had purchased a 3" 
buffing gun from a local auto paint supply store to get into tight spots on 
the bonnet around the headlights and other tight areas.. I used this small 
buffer with Novus #3 Heavy Scratch remover and it made it almost new 
looking. Excellent product and available at most of the usual culprits.

You may also want to try the same process with the new headlight lens 
polish. It worked wonders on my Jeep headlight covers.
