The windshield on my hydrostream has overspray all over it along with the rest of the boat. Im afraid of using anything on the windshield because I dont want it to eat or dull the plastic. Any ideas?? Thanks.

Maquiers makes a plastic glass cleaner and polish.

I used it a lot on my drag car with polycarbon windows.

Aquabuff 2000.

the headlights on my car yellowed and become hazy over time. They are plexiglass or some sort of plastic. I have tried scruibbing with everything, no good, nothing worked including a product ford sells designed for fixing this sort of problem. I took a buffer and the aquabuff and bam, they are crystal clear again. No scratches or swirls eother.

qct, I forgot you are in st. pete. The place I got the aquabuff is down on 34th street and about 40th ave, in that strip little plaza just to the south of kanes on the same side of 34th. It is a fiberglass shop, I just cannot remeber the name.

www.finneys.com (http://www.finneys.com) has a plexiglass cleaner that supposedly the military uses. I've never tried but I'm going to order some cause I just put the Finneys plexi windflaps on my boat.

I Swear By That Stuff, I Have Used Many Different ProductS Through The Years, And Prefer Aquabuff 2000 Over Other Compounds. It Has Great Cutting Strength, Yet Very Fine Grit, And I Have Found That Since It Is White, Leaves Less Resedue Stains Than Any Other Compounds That Have Color. I Only Paint For Hobby These Days, But I Still Use Aquabuff To Polish Edges On Plexi/lexan & Carbon Fiber Panels That I Fabricate For A Living. These Days I Do Custom Electronic Installs. Still Miss Painting Though Cause Of The Graphics & Airbrushing Etc. Good Luck! Fig

Its been awhile since you posted but I was bored and thought I would add my 2 cents worth. Hands down Clay Magic is hard to beat on any surface. Its all natural and has no chemical reaction to anything. Works on new or old paint as well as glass or plexiglass windshields and it only removes overspray.
