Same here, hose it off first if possible, then a wash mitt and a bucket of water.
Haven’t used a gas station squidgy yet as afraid it will scratch it.

don't use the gas station squidgy. They absolutely will scratch them.

Winter driving has my rear window super dirty, what should I use to clean it. I don't want to scratch it.

When I had my wrangler, I rinsed and washed with micro fiber and mild detergent. Next rinse and pat dry.Then I would wash s Invisible Glass brand cleaner with microfiber cloth. No scratches.

I just used Plexus for the very first time and it worked really good. I can see out my rear window and it looks so clear. +1 for me.

In the boating world, the high dollar (best?) clear plastic (windows) used in bimini tops is called Strataglass. Almost all of these tops are custom made. I do not know what the auto industry uses for these windows. This is what the Strataglass manufacturer and the top fabricators recommend for cleaning.

Has anyone attempted to remove the scratches. I was cleaning mine with a micro fiber put a few in my rear window.

Dealer scratched the hell out of our windows when we bought it.
I was able to remove most of the damage with maguires plastX polish and, IIRC, a blue pad.
The machine polishing seems to have increased the static making dirt stick to the plastic. The other day I accidentally touched one of the side windows while tightening the velcro above it and it's got a huge scratch streak across it again.
Anyway, it seems that Plexus cleaner is impossible to get these days due to being mentioned on social media so much.
Apparently motorcycle guys swear by Pledge for helmet visors and windscreens. They say it keeps dirt from clinging to the plastic. I'm going to try it after I polish my windows again.
