For convertible rear windows

Cheers Allen , I have had a new rear window fitted recently and it picked up a bit of dirt and marked when I ran the roof down , I used a dedicated plastic rear window cleaner and it made it worse , I'll try this product.
On topic I had quite a badly marked lid and used a fine then extra fine grade wet and dry then Brasso , it did a great job , plenty of elbow grease required , it's not as new so maybe the Autosol will finish the job off.

Sounds like a good product, It's very frustrating when the sunlight shows up the scratches. I have polished a couple of turntable covers over the last year, I made up a smooth paste using T-Cut and toothpaste and gently polished the scratches out, rubbing in all directions and circles too. Rinsed off under the tap and a final polish with Pledge.

the trick to this is to use progressively finer grades,the idea is each grade removes any scratches the last grade made until there is none visible by eye.

Autosol and T-Cut etc., are a little too coarse to produce a final fine polish on Acrylic surfaces. If you have the patience, jeweller's rouge with water will do the job, but it does take a while.

FWIW I've used uPVC cleaners and polishes to good effect. The cremes 'cut' much less than say T-Cut tend to. DIY shops sell them; loads on the web

If doing large area using cutting compounds and using a DA or drill beware of "burning" the item, speed no higher than 1500 rpm and use water to keep everything cool.

Greygate Plastic Polish: hand polishing results are fabulous providing the scratches are superficial and not deep. If the lid is in very poor condition requires time, patience and a good, well-greased elbow.

I used it on my MG soft top clear panel, works well with a lot of elbow grease. For TT covers, T-Cut is as good as anything, cheap and easily found in most auto shops. I wouldn't bother looking for anything else myself as it works so well. For really deep scratches, I use wet and dry abrasive, then Car Plan medium rubbing compound then T-Cut to finish.

I use Polywatch to remove scratches from my plastic watch crystal, applied with a cotton ball, and polished with a clean cotton ball. Will be much finer abrasive than T-Cut etc.

Polish it around the corner. Naughty Polly (Sorry !)
