I use Meguiars mirror glaze #17 Clear plastic cleaner followed by Meguiars mirror glaze #10 Clear Plastic Polish. I used this product on our '95 FW for 8 years and the eisenglass was as good as new when we sold the boat.

If the Eisenglass is in good shape to begin with, the Plexus polish (in an aerosol can), that bhurley noted, works perfect at polishing it perfectly clear and protecting it.

That's a brand name for the clear plastic windows in the canvas sets. Kind of like Kleenex .........

Best stuff I have ever used is 303 Aerospace Protectant. This stuff is phenomenal. I have attached alink from West Marine, but you can find it at your local hardware store a heck of a lot cheaper.

What if your glass is in not so good shape.. The bottom 4 inches of my glass is yellow... Can it be cleaned?

Last weekend someone told me they use Pledge. But not lemon just regular. Said they have been using it for years and it works well and is cheap. I am skeptical any info?

From what I have always been told Pledge is a no-no...even the non-lemon stuff.
