Plexus seems to be the most used. It's what I use.

if Plexus won't clean it use Flitz and a microfiber rag(yes seriously) I've been using it on the dodger of my sailboat for years and it's the same type of plastic, having just bought my 986 and it having a foggy window at purchase, Plexus wouldn't clean it, 1 pass of Flitz brought it back to 85%, another to nearly new

if you don't know what Flitz is, it's a metal polish that's non corrosive, non abrasive, and has a protectant in it, it's the best stuff in the world

Microfiber towel is the way to go.

I don't know anything about Flitz but if it is a "metal polish" why would you use it on plastic rather than a water-based, specialist plastic polish like Renovo's?  You don't know what's in Flitz so why risk damage that you may not see for some time?  As a general rule, plastic windows should not be cleaned with domestic cleaning products  that are intend for use on glass or other hard surfaces.  The same rule applies to plastic film window tint - my tint warranty (fine print) actually specifies cleaning with warm water only!
