Dirt and salt accumulations scratch acrylic, so flood it often with fresh water and wash it with a clean, soft cotton cloth. You can use a cleaner specifically made for cleaning acrylic or very, very mild soap but not vinegar, ammonia, chlorine, detergents or glass cleaners. If it isn't crazed internally, hazy acrylic can be polished to clarity. Do you also need to remove fine scratches or marks?

Wait! You have windows on your boat?
Or: I though you were an Apple kinda guy.
Or: I have portlights in my house and windows on my boat...
:solame:
Soap & water. I sometimes finish with Plexus on my portlights. They are plastic. I use Plexus and now Imar on my dodger 'glass.

Don, Great question!!.............I thought the OP was speaking about the port and cabin top windows. When it comes to dodger windows I follow exactly what the manufacturer recommends............so you have know exactly what dodger window material you have before you clean them. I have Makrolon marine polycarbonate dodger windows and I am very, very careful on how I clean them.
