Lexan® Polycarbonate
Plastic polish will not remove clarity defects that are within the plastic or deep scratches (1.0 µ) but it will remove external/surface scratching and oxidation (yellowing). Prior to application of a plastic polish ensure that the surface is clean and free from dust particles by washing with a soft cloth and warm water. Be cognizant that heat may cause the plastics to deform
Is a registered trademark of SABIC Innovative Plastics; a highly durable polycarbonate resin thermoplastic intended to replace traditional glass and Plexiglas where the need for strength and impact resistance justifies its higher cost. Using an abrasive polish may remove the UV protective coating
After washing and drying the surface; use a plastic polish that is safe for all types of clear and coloured (polycarbonate) type plastics i.e. Lexan®, Perspex, Lucite and most clear acrylics - Bay Plastics Ltd -Novus 1, 2, & 3
Novus 1; Plastic Clean and Shine - gently cleans all plastics without scratching, leaves a lustrous shine that resists fogging, repels dust, and eliminates static.
Novus 2; Fine Scratch Remover - removes fine scratches, haziness, and abrasions from most plastics (exceptional for removing scratches from Plexiglas). Use repeatedly and restore faded and discoloured plastics.
The type of polishing cloth you use will make a difference; nonabrasive, absorbent and lint free. Uses a soft 100% cotton towel (Swisswax or Zymol) avoid using polyester (Microfiber), which can scratch unprotected plastics. If using a machine polisher (Novas 2 & 3) use low speed and light pressure with a clean 100% cotton bonnet (as opposed to foam) to avoid overheating the plastic
Alternative products - 3M Plastic Polish and Cleaner, Plexus® Plastic Cleaner, Protectant & Polish or Renovo Plastic Cleaner can be hand or machine applied
LP Aero Plastics - acrylic polish and sealant, a no-wax, non-yellowing formula containing polyethylene polymers. This product gives a super slick surface to your acrylic windshield and windows, used extensively on light aircraft.
DO NOT use solvent, steel razor blades or steel wool on plastic (Lexan®) lenses

Wax cleans it up very nicely, as good as some window cleaners.
Wax will work on practically everything external on your car except the vinyl or rubber.
Just make sure it's real wax and not a wax alternative. Glass can be very hard to clean if you put the wrong thing on it.
