Slightly scratched windows - how to rectify and wash?

[HomerMarge]

picked up our van (2004) on saturday and noticed some vey ligh scrathes on the windows that we do not remember seeing when we viewed it. Mind you it was very bright on saaturday and really dull when we bought it. I am a wash fanatic with the car and alway hose before I clean and I see this is the same obvious advice for the plastic windows. It therefore looks like they have been cleaned before hosing (maybe by the shop when the van was valeted) but obviously I cannot prove that. Is there anything I can apply to the windows to buff out these scrathes or our we stuck with them. Also what is the best way to clean and more important dry? I was thinking of using a leather chamois for drying? Any advice to us newbies most welcome, other than that the van is fab and we cannot wait to use it for Easter!

You could try using Fenwicks Scratch Remover for Plastic Acryllic Windows. I find it very good at removing all but the deepest scratches. You can see the product on their webiste - http://www.fenwicks.info/windowize.htm. They give handy hints for keeping your windows clean and scratch free.

Some other contributors to the discussion board say how T-Cut is also effective but I haven't tried that one yet.

Yes, T Cut and plenty of elbow grease worked for me!

Also heard that Brasso works.

I've used Duraglit to good effect - also lots of patience and elbow grease!

Try a smear of toothpaste on a damp cloth - rinse well as you go along.
