Clear top cleaner

[wwr]

I read here or somewhere that GM made a cleaner for the clear top. The dealer here doesn't know (of course) about it.
Anybody know what that stuff is called or if it has a part number? If not what should I use?

thanks,

Do not use the plastic polish on the clear top. The GM foaming glass cleaner is the product to use. Another product that should never touch your top is Rain-X.

Washing Car with towels

I read in the archives that almost everyone suggested using 100% cotton towels (without using softner when washing them) to wash the body of a Corvette. The "Detailing Bible" guy says this also. My question is has anybody ever seen the condition of 100% cotton towels after they've beenwashed and dried? Aren't they sort of uh, uh, hard? Microfiber was also mentioned. I just don't want those dag gum swirls.

Thanks,

Any cleaner wax has has some abrasives in it and over time you will get some hazing of the plastic. Treat the clear tops as you would any clear glass to retain the transparency.

In the 14 years I've have glass tops on my Corvettes, I've never had a problem with hazing.

If it works for you, I certainly wouldn't condemn it. I've seen the results on some of my friend's tops due to mistreatment. The plastic tops are so touchy it pays to be extra careful. Continued good luck with your care.
