Greygate plastic polish was the stuff mandated by the RAF for aircraft transparencies when I last worked on live airframes about 20 years ago. I wondered if you could still get the stuff – now I know! I have used it for polishing glider canopies too.
Like Jon H I found that Brasso would be quite quick at removing stubborn stuff but don’t dismiss Greygate though. It can remove some quite deep scratches given time and elbow grease!

Hmmm interesting…. *as he thinks about tackling the Sea Hawk canopy* 😀

When I did our Rapide items, I used warm soapy water and a toothbrush. Finished them off with Mr Sheen furniture polish…. gave them a lovely gleam!
