Hi Tom,

Believe it or not, BRASSO (available at Walmart, K-Mart, etc) does a 
good job of surface cleaning and MINOR scratch removal.  When I first 
got my TR8, the rear window was mostly that lovely opaque tan that 
clear vinyl tends to go when out in the sun too much.  The BRASSO got 
rid of the tan and improved the clarity enough that the window could 
now be seen through.

If you want to spend a little more money, Meguiar's makes a couple of 
products that also do a good job:
    * 17 - Professional Plastic Cleaner
    * 10 - Professional Plastic Polish
These are sometimes available in larger auto-parts stores but can 
just about always be found in a boat store (lots of plastic windows in boats).

I believe Autoglym also makes a product - did I see it for sale at 
TRF?   No personal experience with this however.

Let us know how you make out.

Cheers,

Brian
