Milky Windows

I know this subject has been covered before but I wonder if anyone has first hand experience of using 'Renovo' perspex cleaner.

I have tried 'Plexus' and although it is stonkingly good at putting a shine on things it doesnt have any effect on the opaqueness that happens with age. Renovo does claim in its advertising blurb to have an effect on this problem. But does it really work?

Anything to save a few quid on new windows......

Regards

Hi,

Never used it but my understanding of perspex is that if it has gone milky the problem is in the material itself rather than the surfaces.

Renovo is good for removing the sort of fine scratches which one gets when some silly ****** has been using paper tissues to clean the windows.

Incidentally, the usual window material is polycarbonate, I think, rather than perspex. Perspex is flimsy stuff.

Never tried it with milky windows. However I have read, in a different context (restoring certain clear plastic car headlamp mouldings which go milky through water absorption and cost £hundreds to replace) that the milkyness can be removed with exhastive (exhausting?) power buffing.

Thanks for the replies guys.....dont like the sound of 'power buffing'

Might give Renovo a go before commiting hand to wallet.
