Hi everybody,
Another question that I need answering.
The rear quarter windows on my GT have dulled with the sun.
Can these panels be polished the same way as I have done on plastic headlamps that have dulled?
Look forward to your suggestions

Re: Rear quarter Windows
if no one has ever tried cleaning them up before they will have a lacquer coating over them,
i would use the likes of 1200 wet N dry ( wet ) and soap to rub them down/remove the coating,
then burnish them with fine compound then T cut or the likes,
if the stripes are still there under the lacquer you will loose these in the process

Re: Rear quarter Windows
Thanks for that.
They have never been treated before and the stripes are still there.
When I burnish them with t-cut will I have to put protective wax on to prevent this happening again.

Re: Rear quarter Windows
you could always skip the burnishing with compound and T cut,
then just re/ lacquer them,
i believe modern lacquers dont yellow like the older type did
