SUBJECT:
Plastic Rear Window Cleaner

MODEL:
Z3 roadster

Situation:





A small sample of convertible rear window cleaner will be placed into the literature folder of all Z3 roadsters produced as of week 39/00. The sample pack has been provided to inform the customer of the availability of at least one product that can be used to maintain the "like new" appearance of their plastic rear window.

A larger tube of the cleaner is available through the parts system under BMW part number 81 22 9 407 665.

In addition to the above cleaners, Meguiar's Plastic Cleaner # 17 (BMW p/n 82 14 1 467 128) and Meguiar's Plastic Polish # 10 (BMW p/n 82 14 1 467 129) continue to be approved for all soft plastic windows that require more thorough cleaning.

Note:
All roadster purchasers should be informed, during the delivery process, that using an approved rear window care product will greatly enhance the appearance of their plastic rear window and will extend the life of that window as well. Remember to inform the customer that the cleaner is used by first washing the window, then applying the cleaner with a soft cloth and rubbing in a circular motion. The film of cleaner should then be removed by buffing with a clean, dry cloth.
