Car cleaning tips/ideas/hacks??
 
Any one have any suggestions of cool cleaning hacks to clean the soft top on the inside?

OR

How about how to clean and/or get rid of that haziness you acquire on the back window on a soft top convertible since it's not glass?

I had decent luck cleaning my plastic window with Meguire's plastic-X and a DA polisher. Greatly improved visibility.

I did this, but I got it too hot once and melted that. Then I had a big assed opaque bubble on my window.

Maybe overkill, but rent one of those carpet cleaning machines with the upholstery attachment? Bonus: you can clean your carpet and seats while you're at it.

If your home vacuum cleaner has an upholstery attachment, get some of that carpet cleaning foam and try the same thing?

upholstery spray paint.

good thinking, I thought about some of these, but I was afraid to try them. I was looking for something people have tried so I wouldn't ruin anything :)

I think with regards to cleaning the inside of the top, most people have tried "DGAF".

As for the window, there's not much you can do long term besides put a glass window in.

I used that blue diamond polish in my window with some luck. Nothing is going to get the heavy oxidation.
