I have started cleaning the vinyl windows, but its going to take awhile with the state they are in from the previous owners neglect.

I have tin of Brasso felt but is hard work. Did try a plastic scouring pad the type with sponge on the back, Bad results marking the vinyl.

So as seen on some websites they use a 3" (75mm) polishing pad in a drill on their soft tops etc on auto's.

Rayon or Wool pads, which would be the better doing this job

I'm a retired Army chopper pilot. Our crewchiefs used a product called "Bubble Polish" on the windscreens of the choppers. Cleaned really well, but didn't scratch the plexiglass. Don't know if it's what you need but I figured I'd pass it along.

Thanks for the info,

The flexible vinyl windows (Also known as Isinglass) are part of the canopy on the back of the boat, not rigid like Plexiglass. [h=1][/h]

For the vinyl top I would try bleach and water. 1 part bleach 3 parts water. Let it soak for at least 10 minutes. Assuming top is white of course. I also really like spray nine.
