You can&#8217;t use just any old plastic polish on polycarbonate as almost all will result in blooming and fogging of the surface that is then difficult, even impossible, to remove.

If all you want to do is lightly polish the screen, after normal cleaning or washing, I&#8217;d recommend Plexus which is also specially for polycarbonate.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I gave my Savannah&#8217;s seats a second coat of black dye this morning as on close inspection I could see a few white patches that were still faintly visible beneath the dye.
