Rear 'window'

[Le TVR]

Driving to work yesterday it seems like I was looking through frosty glass... A closer look and it is scratched everywhere but very small scratches.

Ah says Madame, it was so dusty that I hoovered the roof....
'and the back window?'
'yes, with that little brush fitting.....'

Arghhh

Will something like the Renovo plastic polish take this out?
I havent seen separate window plastic for TVRs but some companies have something called Vybak in 0,8mm size. Has anyone tried Vybak? What do TVR use?

You could try a good plastic polish or AutoGlym Paint renovator, this normally gets out scratches out of the rear screen!

Depending on the condition of your rear roof piece, Autohoods do a complete rear section including the screen for about £230 IIRC.

The roof I changed about five years ago and is still almost perfect. Its just the rear window.

I suppose I could insist that she stiches in the replacement though

I used the renovo window polish and it worked very well but I think t-cut is probably as good.

renovo is good and would come recommended. Not cheap for how much you get but i would use it over T-cut just in case the chemicals are slightly different. I have heard of some people using renovo and actually pressing it slightly too hard and splitting the screen. Hence I was careful when I applied it to both the S and the Chimaera and after reading that I would be loathe to try anything other than a specialist product.

try autoglym polish

Try contacting "The Polishing Company", at a recent TVRCC E. Mids meet they demonstrated a product that revived the rear screen and softened the vinyl at the same time, so it became more pliable and helped stop it becoming brittle and cracking.

Thanks for the comments.

Will report back later.

Well the Renovo polish arrived Saturday and was used on the rear window.
Wasnt sure what to expect as I polished the dried white polish off......



If I had expected it to be even half as good I would have taken 'before + after' photos but.. Lets do the inside as well....

Well what can I say, what adjective can describe the result?

Thanks for the recommendation, an absolutely top product.
