Our windshield on the Club Car had some circular scratches. Had to be from the previous owner using something abrasive when cleaning. After reading this post and Googling, my wife picked up some Meguiar's PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish at Wal-Mart for me.

I just did a spot by rubbing it in, then wiping off with an old 100% cotton tee shirt. The spot looked better, but still had scratches. I tried again, but this time applied a bit more elbow grease. This is great shoulder workout and the windshield looks 98% better.

Thanks for this reference, if it works well on the whole windshield, you may have saved me $90 for a new windshield

Part of my Googling (must be cool to start a company that becomes a verb) found this:

http://www.mypilotstore.com/mypilotstore/sep/4256

Looks like the same type stuff I2 mentioned and it was invented by a pilot so it must be good ;)

aj - Good deal! Glad it seems to be working for you. Sometimes the scratches can be so bad that NOTHING will take them out. If they're just light ones on the surface, then it should do well.

Meguiar's (as well as other companies) market products that are just intended for general cleaning/upkeep/protection of plastic. I wouldn't suggest using the PlastX for anything other than scratch removal.

Again, hope the rest of the windshield turns out great! :)

When we bought our carts, we were told to be sure and use CLEAN cloths that have absolutely no dirt on them. Otherwise, you scratch the windshield.

Thanks for the tip, fumar. I might just give it a shot - always looking for new things to try out.

We were told to Use only WINDEX AUTO GLASS. It cost a little more but it is what everyone at the Golf Cart Stores recommended. We have used it with no problems..

Hijack over and out.

Eve2278 12-13-2010 09:05 PM

Now, THAT sounds like a plan!!!

I wax the windshield after I wash it with soap & water.It helps with the raindrops beading up along with a clear view!!

Thanks, AJ. Just ordered 2 bottles and a pkg of lint-free towels. Had rave reviews from 2 pilots and a golf cart owner. Hope it takes my scratches out. All I used was water from a spray bottle followed by a microfiber towel and it scratched like crazy :rant-rave:
