Need a Spot
what is the best lube to put on the zippers on my soft top? they are exposed to lots of dust during dry days and mud during wet ones. also what is the best cleaner for the windows that will not cloud them up or scratch the surface. thanks.

For cleaning windows, I use the Novus 2 stage kit for plastic windows. It comes with a cleaner and also a mild rubbing compound for getting out light scratches. They also have a 3rd level for deeper scratches. Try doing a search on ebay for Novus Plastic Polish or check your local parts store.

i use the rainx windshield washer fluid to clean my windows. works good and no hazing. you might rub a white candle over your zippers. hot days work best.

Apparently the Flitz Wheel Cleaning system (with the flitz ball, and metal polish) does wonders for the plastic windows on a jeep...

However you must mask off the fabric or the polish will damage it.
