    Clear top has scratches in it from hard car wash machine. What is the best
    way to remove these? Specific products? Thanks for your help.

    small airport around, ask there.

    A temporary fix that looks good is the "colored" waxes. You can get a wax
    that closely matches the base color and most of the scratches will
    disappear. A more permanent fix would be to wet sand the clear coat...very
    tricky operation.

    I would try a plexiglass scratch repair kit (really really fine sandpaper)
    follow the instructions on the box

    Look up a product called Novus Plastic Polish. They have a package of
    3 different grits that are used in sequence to remove scratches and to
    polish plastic such as aircraft windows.

    Clear top, not painted top.

    Have your insurance agent call the car wash and tell them to order your
    a replacement top or they will have to deal with the insurance company
    lawyers.

    A cleaner wax will do wonders.

    Yep Novus will work... start with number 3 then drop down to number 2 ...
    Personally I purchased all 3 and have never seen the need to go down to
    number 1...

    The top on my 95 was replaced at no charge by GM because the clear coat
    peeled...and they never requested the original back..so I went at the top
    with 1500 grit sand paper...then switched to Novus # 3...then to Novus # 2
    and when I was finished you could not tell which top was which... Still
    can't...
