Any suggestions on how to keep the rear window on the soft top clean? Is there anything recommended to spray on the vinyl to keep mud and water from adhering? I have put Chemical Guys HydroView on on the front windshield and wanted to see if it would work on the vinyl windows.

On my old Jeeps soft top windows I would use a thin layer of Dawn dish soap. It doesn’t last a long time but it works and you know it won’t damage anything.

is there a minimum temperature you can apply this? It's currently 25 degrees in Chicago and I was hoping to get some of this on to help with salt and whatnot
Don't do it. Too cold.

Yeah I was just digging around Google and saw they recommend 65-85*F. I'm sure you could go a little cooler and wait a little longer but I'm not going to chance it

I don't touch my jeep's soft top windows when its below 50 degrees outside. Same goes for the Bronco.

I was told to not use anything with ammonia to clean the vinyl by a professional detailer
Recommended soapy water or Invisible Glass.

I've been using this stuff on my goggle lenses, helmet visors, motorcycle windscreens, stainless garbage can, and everyone of my vehicles with tint for the last 17 years.
