Cleaning/Restoring Clear Vinyl Windows
So you're boating on a beautiful fall day with the trees full of color and all you see through your clear vinyl windows is a yellowish blurred image. Well, you can significantly improve this by following the steps below.
​
Supplies needed:
- Small orbital buffer (like 6") and pads
- Plastic fine scratch remover (I use NOVUS)
- Plastic protectant and polish (I use Plexus and highly recommend it)
- LOTS of towels
​
-
Thoroughly clean the windows with a good marine soap and water.
-
Squeeze some scratch remover unto the buffer pad and apply until the remover starts to dry. I usually run it vertically and then horizontally. You may require repeated applications of the scratch remover to the pad depending on your window size.
-
Remove the scratch remover from the window using a rag until clear.
-
Repeat on the other side of the window.
-
Once complete, you can spot apply the scratch remover with a rag to get the last of those stubborn spots.
-
Apply the plastic protectant and polish to the cleaned windows.
-
Enjoy!
