Hello I noticed that you seem to have a lot of experience with plastic resto's. I thought I might hit you up.
I am down in Melbourne and have a customers car which is mechanically A1 but the bodywork is letting it down a bit.
The rear plastic window is oxidised and I have seen many methods on the internet for restoring them. I thought I would give it a go to see if it can be repaired rather than replaced. I was thinking of starting with an application of AutoSmart G101 All Purpose Caustic Cleaner to remove as much of the oxidization and then following up with some kind of plastic polish. I would appreciate any suggestions or products anyone has had good experiences with. Cheers Luke
 
I hear this kit works well, but you can probably piece together the same "parts" with something equally effective sourced locally. Your listed product is unfamiliar to me as you're down under and I'm not. 😉

And, damn, I hate plastic rear windows....glass works sooo much better. But some cars you just can't get glass except to go aftermarket and pay $$$.
