Another possible fix.......I got this tip from a guy who restores pinball machines, and he says that the plexi goes from bad to "good as new."

I think he is saying you can do the same hazing headlights mod for the Plexi-Glass used on pinball machines. 
Does anyone have a pinball machine?

Hey CSVT985, those things look great! Did you use hot or cold water? And when do you put in the fabric softener? During the rinse cycle?

I used the gentle warm cycle. Then I used tide color and bleach. The spin cycle made a horrible racket - but boy they look good now!!

Newb here. Just throwing in my experience with plexiglass improvement. Almost all general aviation windows are high grade plexiglass. It follows the line of what you've all been discussing here. There is a kit product called
"MicroMesh". Ever finer specialized cloths with a foam rubber backing block. We are talking FAA approved repair for obtaining the ultimate visual perfection to hazed and crazed plexiglass products and their close kin.
Not cheap and not worth it for the individual probably but if you detail or are tasked with cleaning up a lot of plexiglass to like new condition there is nothing better!
Grow up! Quit asking stupid questions! And quit acting like you know it all!!!!
