I'v just bought a steel hardtop for my 1965 Sunbeam Alpine. The rear perspex screen is quite milky (probabaly 45 years old), Anyone any views on how to clear it? New ones are available around £100, but if its repairable......

I successfully used Greygate Plastic Polish (http://www.greygate.com/) on my modern: After getting a precautionary on my MOT for milky headlight plastic, I was worried I'd have to spend up to £80 on a pair of lamp assemblies from a breaker!

A quick polish with Greygate & some elbow grease, and my plastic lenses shone like new... and I saved myself about £75.

You can get it on eBay. I believe it's identical to "Renovo" (sold as a window polish) but half the price.

I solved the problem on my Lotus by using ordinary car polish restorer! T-cut was OK but the best was the one in a blue container whose name escapes me.

Thanks everyone, tried tcut etc but to no avail, the problem was discolouring through the material. Kept it as a back up anyway.
