Default How do I remove white fog from canopy?

I just picked up a new - used Phoebus C and the canopy is not scratchd
but has a slight white fog that cannot be removed with traditional
cleaning, Does anyone know if a product is available that will remove
this white fog?


The problem is probably a microscopic pitting of the plastic. As others have
mentioned, the ultimate fix is Micromesh, time, elbow grease, and beer. (Use
the beer on yourself, not the canopy.) Various products are available,
primarily for headlight restoration, that use some clear substance to fill the
pits, which restores the clarity of the plastic. These products all work (to
some extent) and may be worth trying.
