Clear plastic/screen fogging in sunlight

[Devil]

Bike and car related:

After some time exposed to the elements and sunlight, you know how the outer surface of bike screens and car headlights can get all frosted and shitty on the surface. There are a few products around that can remove this and get it back to a nice clear surface but I can't for the life of me remember what will do it?

Help?

I would suggest using a swirl remover polish, followed up by a good plastic polish such as Plastex, then a wax such as Plexus or Pledge to finish.
If you can, the best option is to remove the screen, cushion it on an old cushion, pillow, rolled-up blanket, etc. and use an electric polisher.
This is the method I used on the VFR's windscreen.

It worked well, apart from the stress cracks caused by some rocks hitting it.
