Just be aware that any scratch Resistance and UV protective coatings
will be removed. Maybe try just the plastic headlight polish by itself
first. That may be enough for a decent improvement. I would also caution
against using any compound that is not specifically for plastic.
Automotive compounds and waxes have petroleum solvents that will attack
plastic in a way that cannot be fixed.

Hello all,
Our 37/40+ has tinted plexiglass sliding companionway hatches that
look fogged and lightly scratched all over from years of sun. After
reading here and other places about potential ways of curing the
issue, I ran a test here at home. I have a Ryobi Corner Cat, and
grabbed a piece of scrap plexiglass. Starting with 360 wet/dry
sandpaper, I wet sanded the nice new piece of plexi until it looked
like $#!+. Then followed with 600, 1200 and 2000, then went to
buffing compound, and finally to McGuire's polish for headlights.
Sure enough, the piece of plexiglass came out really nice & clear.
So, I think I'll try it on the sliding hatchboards unless someone here
cautions me otherwise.
What say you wise folks?
