At February's Triumph Register of Southern California meeting, we had a
guest speaker who is an auto upholsterer/resto specialist-and he said that
when the plastic windows are old and cloudy and beyond the plastic polish
(or even before that)-carnuba wax! Yes, he said get out the carnuba and wax
the plastic windows and they'll clear up! So, you'll be able to see!
Cool tip, eh?
I haven't tried it yet as my top is pretty new and only been used a half a
dozen times...but, I plan to try the carnuba on the scuffs from where the
frame rubs on the windows.
