Plastic windshield cleaner (golf cart)
 

My golf cart plastic windshield has fog like streaks on both sides, in
different areas.
I used Novus plastic clean and shine, and vinegar and water; neither
helped. I never used Windex or a similar product with or without
alcohol.
Any products/ideas come to mind???

Windex should be safe. Just test a small area.
But, it may need a buffing up if "fog" is erosion. I would look to auto
supply area store or like for something used for acrylic automobile lenses.

another thought
 

I used to buff up a plastic watch lens with tooth paste.
Abrasive is mild and fine enough not to scratch plastic.

Novus clean and shine only does that, it does not polish. Try a plastic
polish, Novus or other brand.

A picture is worth a thousand words here...

You could have damaged the coating on the plastic during
your "cleaning" attempts...

It could be something that can be buffed out with the right
compound or it could be something that has chemically
reacted with the coating and is now permanent...

Pick up some convertible plastic rear window cleaner at any autobody
supply store.

Motorcyclists with their plastic (lexan) windscreens will tell you
to use Lemon Pledge. Pledge will also fill in minor imperfections; it
may help with your streaks.

Paper towels should not be used. Instead, use cotton rags which will
not abrade the plastic. I use old T shirts.

Avoid glass cleaners. Some types will damage plastic.

Motorcycle shops have various formulations available for windscreens;
however, they are expensive.

I have been using Pledge for years on my bikes.
