MG TD TF 1500 - Yellow side screens

Is there a cure/propriety cleaner for side screen yellowing?

I thought I had read so in the archives so time ago? Can't find it. Perhaps it was yet another dream!

I use a product called "Plexus" (B.T. I. Chemical Co., Oak Park, California)... picked it up from a local hardware store... really cleaned my plastic windows.. seems to fill up scratches... did get rid of a small amount of yellow I had along the bottom seam of my rear window...
Check at your local airport using airport transfers tonbridge as this was developed for aircraft perspex....

Two products are avalable to replace the yellowing and (by now probably) cracking, side screen plastic material - Acrillic (plexiglass just to mention one name) and polycarbonate.

Polycarbonate yellows more quickly but behaves better in cold weather; while acrillic will retain its clarity much longer but becomes quite brittle when approaching 5°C.

Has - The MG Owner's Club in Swavesey recently featured a product in their Enjoying MG magazine called Renovo. From the article and pictures, I gather that it is the same type of product as Plexus and it appears to work quite will. It is available from their Spares and Accessories for £4.99 for 30ml or £14.95 for 100ml. The MGOC Spares and Accessories number is 01954 231318 or their web site is at: http://www.mgocaccessories.co.uk/acatalog/ Good luck - Dave
