The best way to clean lexan?

My Cosmo has a lexan windshield, and it's really fogged up...
I have to drive like Ace Ventura to see anything...
It's not scratches either...
It's like it smears bad every time I wipe it with something,
and I've seen threads about how to clean FTP's,
but I don't remember what they used...

I was actually wondering if there was anything I could do immediately...
I have to be able to drive the car, so I gotta fix this quick...
Is there anything you can get at like Autozone or something?
I'm gonna get some of the Novus Polish, but I need a quick fix too...
Thanks!!!

Yea, I have a 91 TII but it needs an engine rebuild...
I'm just waiting on the porting templates...
I guess I'll just order the polish.
I found a Novus kit on eBay, so I'm buying...

I've used Novus polish with great success on helmet visors, Lexan windows and interior plastics.

In the meantime, you might try basic auto polish. (Just straight, non-waxing polish like Meguire's step 2) Lexan is just a plastic, and polish works great for de-hazing old plastic headlights.

Naturally, start carefully in a small corner before committing to the whole thing.

Mothers also makes a plastic / lexas polish. I am sure it would work perfect and is at most local auto part stores. That and the anti fog stuff (Easy to find at paintball shops)
