Dear All,
The rear window in the hood of my original 1973 OTS has gone that yellow like colour. Does anyone have any ideas to refresh it and get it back to clear?
Any experience or recomendations gratefuly appreciated.

This guy is a professional car detailer.
He plugs his own product line throughout is tutorial.
Dealing with yellowed plastic window starts at 10:25



Time Saver: he recommends Meguiar's Plastx.
Hmm - tried to embed a link to Amazon but that doesn't seem towork
