Mark...I've used this combo before with excellent results. I'm sure other forum members will have some other suggestions as well. :)

MEGUIARS #17 & #10 Auto Plastic Cleaner & Plastic Polish: Clean and clarify clear plastic automotive surfaces with meguiars plastic care detailing (http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars1017.html)

I try to remember that these plastic windows are usually very scratch-prone and use of a too aggressive cleaner/polish can induce irrepairable results. Also, internal imperfections of the plastic window itself usually are "un-detailable".

I have been using PlastX and the DynaCone from Megs that comes in the wheel polishing kit... Works great on my Z3 rear plastic!

And the DynaCone is so versatile!

Mark, I've used this with a DA a few times with good results on ragtops:

Duragloss #681, Duragloss PLP (Plastic Lens Polish) (http://www.duragloss.com/product.asp?pid=300)

The PlastX actually works pretty good by hand or machine.

Be careful to tape off any vinyl or cloth surrounding the window so you don't impact plastic polish into the weave of the vinyl or cloth material. Tape it off before you dress it with any type of dressing or your tape won't stick.

If using this with a DA what pad? If using by hand what media?

PlastX is the best I have found thus far.
