We use what OFG uses, Plexus.
Unfortunatley the trip is planned and theres not too much sun shine in the forecast so I guess my whimpy *** will get soaked.

Beside just cleaning the shield it actually seals the pores of the windshield makes it super 'slick'. Rain doesn't stick to the shield as it just seems to flow off, much like a glass windshield that has been treated with Rain-X...
Plexus is made especially for Lexan, Perspex, Lucite, Plexiglas, Fiberglass, ABS, Mylar (window tint), Acrylite, and all other acrylics.
Good stuff.
Can you buy it somewhere? Or do you have to order it on line?

Not supposed to be looking through it anyway. If you are it's too tall.

In a weak moment I bought some of this:
It doesn't work and costs a fortune.
Pledge works a lot better .
