Just as an experiment, by way of trying to salvage the very yellowed-scratched plastic windows of the Bubbacon's full soft-top, I used "Meguiars" plastic window cleaner in combination with a random orbit buffer. Requires a light-touch, but it worked wonders.

(The soft-top top was on my workbench and protected from the bench by an old blanket.)

For the soft top or sailcloth top, I recommend a good coating of mud.

For wax, I recommend a good coating of mud.

Now, on my old Camry, nothing made it shine like Meguiar's Gold Class wax. But a shiny Jeep will only be an abomination in the eyes of the Jeep gods.

I tried to clean it one time when it was a week old. That was one time too many. I don't have the patience for it. It either wears mud well or it isn't even on the jeep. lol

Best clean for it is H20 straight from the hose pipe in the driveway. No buffing no getting on ladders to reach it, just spray.

RE: Cj7 motor questions

If you want the top clean, a good stiff brush and some powdered lawndry detergent, Ajax, or anyother powdered cleaner like that will work. Just scrub on it for a while and it will get clean.

For the plastic windows, there are many plastic cleaners and polishes out there. I'd reccomend starting with the cleaner, the going to the polish...and it should work out nicely.

Like others said Meguires is a good company. So is Mother's. They both make very good auto-care products.

Oh, yeah, I'll hose it off after a good muddin' adventure. Even hand washed it a couple of times with soap. Waxed it once, too. Probably will wax it again sometime this spring, but hey, it's a Jeep, I don't put much effort in keeping it clean. It's gonna just get dirty again, right?

Hmmm, sailcloth tops are relatively new, and I'm not so sure you should randomly try cleaners on them. I'd call Bestop or just hit it with a hose.
