Bong cleaner?

Try Plexus, available in motorcycle and boating supply stores.

Try Lemon Pledge. The wax fills some of the very fine scratches that cause the hazing. I have used it for years on plexiglass windows in airplanes.

Bro, go to a boating store and buy yourself a can of Plexus. When I first heard about Plexus, I was like theres no way. Because I was using 3M Plastic cleaner and then 3M PLastic polish. Freaking takes like 3 hours to do that job. Still looked kinda bad. I bought my S used from the dealer and they couldn't even clean it. I went and got a can of Plexus. Just spray on and wipe....... WOW!! I mean WOW! It was clear and bright instantly! So yes.... Plexus works! Hope this helps.

If you used these (Maquiar's and Plexus) and did not get good results, then you did not spend enough time and "elbow grease" at it or you didn't use the product correctly. My window went through a whole winter having snow brushed off that window and after using the plastic polish (in several applications and actually "polishing" the plastic) and then a couple of goes with Plexus, my window came out looking like new. Then I put covered it with Cling Tint. Nearly 4 years later, and the rear window is still in great shape.

Here's my "How To" thread on this:
