how to get shine back on bug shield?
I bought a used broncoII with a weathered bugshield.
I first tried Meguiar's, that didn't cut it, then Novus Heavy scratch remover, this made it worse, i couldn't get the stuff off.
I had a bottle of NicSand Aluminum oxide sanding gel that I had bought for some odd reason, so I figured what the heck.
It came with one of those sponge buffers you put into an electric drill.
Well it took off all the Novus and did a good job of removing the haze. I finished with the Meguiar's to bring back the shine.
You have to watch using the buffer, the edges of the shield cut up the buffer, I had pieces flying off.

The best stuff for plastic/acrlyic is a product called PLEXUS. It is a spray cleaner/polish made just for plastic. It fills haze/small scratches, and leaves the surface very slippery, so dust won't stick to it. It has been used on the canopies of fighter jets, and I use it on scratched CD's/DVD's.

I have to agree with using PLEXUS, I have a motorcycle with a plastic windshield. Plexus makes it look like new again (it kind of smells like Pledge furniture polish, maybe it is!)

I use Mguirres Plastic polish on a clear Lund. Originally I purchased a Clear Shield and painted the back side to match my truck. That was 5 years ago and it still looks new.
the Plastic polish works on the dash lens as well. Any Auto parts store that sells paint to body shops usually stocks it.
