Not super clear, but still a big difference. I think if it's used each time you detail the car, the plastic will eventually clear up fairly well. I don't think deep scratches will ever come out though.

Pledge furniture polish can remove yellowing and adds back plasticizers. Don't use the lemon scented because the citric acid is bad for the windows. Also place a long, thin, soft cotton towel in the crease of the window fold to minimize creasing and scratching. Do this when the window raises up to fold when putting the soft top down into its storage compartment.

Used on aircraft canopies, boat vinyl, motorcyle helmet face shields, and even my plastic lenses in my eye glasses.
Be careful when doing aircraft canopies - the static will surprise you when buffing it out.
Shake the can, spray it on heavy, and buff with a very soft cloth. The yellow ones at wallyworld work best for me.
