Restoring Soft Top Windows

[GunnIt]

I have half doors and a soft top on my 4 door JK unlimited. I spend a lot of time on top of the Paria Plateau where there are lots juniper and pinion. All my plastic windows were so badly scratched that I was thinking about replacing them. I did a little research and decided to try a product called NOVUS which is a 3 part scratch removal system. I wish I would have taken before and after photos but I had no idea that this product was going to work as well as it did. I would guess that there was an 90% improvement in scratch removal after all was said and done. It took me a couple of hours to do all 7 windows. No affiliation with this product just thought that I would share something that worked well for me. I bought the kit off of Amazon.

Here is a picture of my rig; as you can see I have a lot of plastic windows.

I have the kit but have not used it yet.

Did you take the windows out or did you polish them while still installed in the Jeep?

I left them in the jeep. I only needed to do the outside and by keeping them zipped in I did not have to worry about scratching the other side in the process.
