Are you wondering whether Clear Plastic Cleaner & Protector is suitable for your tent windows, convertible rear windows or boat canopy windows? Here you can read exactly what this product is used for, which materials it is designed for and how it fits within the Ultramar maintenance system.
What do you use Clear Plastic Cleaner & Protector for?
Clear Plastic Cleaner & Protector is used to clean and protect transparent plastic windows.
For example:
- Tent windows made of soft PVC or vinyl
- Boat covers with clear windows
- Convertible rear windows in soft tops
- Other flexible, transparent plastic windows
The product removes light dirt and leaves a protective layer that helps the window stay clear for longer.
Which materials is Clear Plastic Cleaner & Protector intended for?
This product is specifically developed for:
- Soft, transparent plastic windows
- Flexible PVC and vinyl
It is not intended for:
- Cotton or canvas fabric
- Synthetic tent fabric
- Painted or coated surfaces
For fabric, use dedicated Ultramar cleaners and protectors. For plastic windows, always use specific Ultramar plastic window products.
What is the difference between Clear Plastic Cleaner & Protector and regular glass cleaner?
Regular glass cleaner is designed for hard household glass.
Plastic windows are softer and more sensitive to scratching and drying out. Standard glass cleaners may be too harsh or leave no protective layer behind.
Clear Plastic Cleaner & Protector is tailored to flexible plastic. It cleans gently and leaves a protective layer that helps reduce new dirt from attaching quickly.
Does Clear Plastic Cleaner & Protector clean and protect in one treatment?
Yes.
The product combines two functions:
- Cleaning – Removes light dirt and surface contamination.
- Protection – Leaves a protective layer on the surface.
If the windows are heavily soiled, first clean them carefully before applying a new protective layer. Protection always works best on a clean surface.
Does Clear Plastic Cleaner & Protector fit within the Ultramar maintenance system?
Yes, specifically for plastic windows.
Ultramar always works material-specific:
- Cotton and canvas → cleaning, stain removal and protection with dedicated products
- Synthetic fabric → specific cleaner and protector
- Plastic windows → Clear Plastic Cleaner & Protector
You never use fabric waterproofing products on plastic windows. Each material requires its own maintenance approach.
What do you need for complete maintenance of your cover or tent?
If you want to properly maintain your full boat cover, tent or convertible roof, treat fabric and windows separately.
Ultramar offers maintenance bundles that combine the correct products for both fabric and plastic windows. Bundles are often more cost-effective than buying products separately.
Work carefully and use enough product for even coverage. Using too little or applying unevenly can affect the final result.
In short
Clear Plastic Cleaner & Protector is the right product for transparent, flexible plastic windows on tents, boat covers and convertible roofs. It cleans and protects in one treatment and is specifically developed for this sensitive material.
Always use the correct Ultramar product for each material. This helps maintain clarity, protection and a longer lifespan.
Ultramar helps consumers clean, maintain and protect boat covers, tents, convertible roofs, plastic windows and other outdoor materials themselves, using PFAS-free maintenance products that are easy to use at home and based on a proven three-step maintenance process.
