Default Canopy Care

I use the Mequiar's products: for scratches #17 Clear Plastic Cleaner,
for very fine scratches #10 Clear Plastic Polish, and for daily care
#18 Clear Plastic Detailer.

What about the rest of you? *Lots of new products to clean and care
for automotice clear plastic headlight covers and such.


Maybe not what you were looking for but I once was able to take a very
old, scratched, hazy HP-14 center canopy and make it look like new
with a Micro-Mesh kit. I was amazed. Just follow the instructions.
2 hours of considerable elbow grease. Initially looks pretty scary
because you start with relatively coarse sandpaper. I guess this was
really canopy repair more than canopy care. FWIW
