Don't bother with the polish ... everything I've tried has failed to restore
mine to my satisfaction. When I inquired about it I was advised to cover the
Lexan from direct sunlight when in storage or during times that I don't use
the vessel to double the life span. Not practical for a live aboard though.
It's a matter of cost... not everyone can justify bulletproof glass.....
plus the seal channel cuts would be really expensive to place.
I've got a piece of 1/2" and 3/4" Lexan clear in the workshop to practise
on. I'm going to buy the tinted stock and do all my ports and hatches
myself. I'm thinking copper tint.... to accent the teak. :-)

Mooron I used 3- 4X8' X 1/2" thick sheets of Lexan replacing all my
side windows. Tinted dark. It's good stuff, I can take a 20 pound
sledge and with the widest swing bounce it off the windows over and
over again without any damage. However it has become dull, scratched,
and crazed over time(8years). I'm going to try to polish it this
summer, but if I can not get it clear again I'm going to replace it
with custom curved armor glass. Glass may cost more but a clear clean
view in the long run is worth 10X thew money in the long run IMO.
