My Bronco is my third soft top. I've never had this problem before as I usually do not touch the plastic, but I inadvertently sponged the rear plastic of my soft top, leaving a few noticeable scratches. I applied some scratch polish, but it did nothing.

I have a Griot's random orbital (big and small) that does not generate heat and is pretty much safe to use anywhere.

The scratches are surface level...you cannot dig your fingernail into them.

Does anybody have any surefire way to remove scratches on the plastic?

Thank you...

Plexus is the answer - my retailer initially turned me onto this product & I have been using it on plastic Jeep softop windows for years - works great!

So it's good for the surface scratches...excellent. Do you use a rotary orbitor or just a microfiber?

Just a microfiber towel.
