I would use LP Aero polish. Wash canopy first with water and detergent. Straight rubbing directions, no circles. It will help help polish up the canopy anyhow. http://www.lpaero.com/accessories.html

I got all of the over spray off with Meguiar's A1216 Cleaner Wax - Liquid. The canopy looks better than it did before!

I will hazard a guess all this removal depends on how clean the canopy is as well as whether or nor it is routinely waxed or otherwise "prepped".
An old crazed canopy that has no real maintenance done will make any paint removal harder, a canopy that has wax or similar will be easier.

YMMV.

Yes, start with a safe removal, then work your way up as needed.
No, I would NOT recommend anything that is/has a solvent other than maybe rubbing alcohol.
Lots of water is always good.......
