      It depends what it is made from - some are made from a material that does not lend itself well to polishing. I attempted to polish a wind screen off of a relatively new Harley Davidson and it was absolutely impossible. For starters, they typically have some type of "clear" coating, so that has to be fully removed first.

      Once that is gone, you will find that the material just does not respond well to polishing. I have tried essentially every polish I could possibly get my hands on, nothing could deliver a perfect result.

      I was able to remove the fine haze and give it *some* clarity, but perfection escaped my grasp after hours of polishing attempts.

        Is there anything to repair, or just in good shape and maintain?
