I THINK so.. I took the panel off, got the switchs out and cleaned them all off.  Plugged it back in and it hasn't quit yet, although it is still rolling up and down slower than the other three windows.  We'll see.

Thanks Main One-I'll have to get some.  I REALLY don't like the couple of white "swirls" on the edge of the cladding.  I might have to tape it off next time... :crackup:

I used Windex to get it off a area that I didn't want to get wax on. It will totallly break wax down. I would try it on a place you can't see first though as I haven't used on cladding before.

That's a good idea Sunburst05 - I got some Windex tonight (without ammonia, not sure what that would do to the cladding).  Hopefully will have a chance to try it before work in the am....Thanks! ;D

Well, I tried it on a couple of spots this morning (the Windex) and it seemed to have taken it all off.  :woot:   I'll see what it looks like this afternoon & post some before/after pics...Thanks again Sunburst05!!
