Hey, I know this is a long standing problem with verts, but has anyone found a product to clean the yellow off the windows.

Other than the yellowing the top and windows are in great shape.... don't want to have to replace them just for that...

Thanks

the clear plastic material used for the side curtains turns yellow and icky over time due the sun and other nasty chemical and weather elements. there is not much you can do about it except replace the plastic. Meguiar's has product called PlastX. I have never use it but you might give that a try or first try cleaning them with cleaners meant for removing soap scum from bathtubs. .or try soap/water with a tinny bit of bleach ...do not use and solvent type cleaners..good luck!

Cool, I'm interested to see how it works out. I've used toothpaste before, as reccomended by others, but i'm not sold on the results.
