There have been a few topics on this and the first thing that gets debated is some wanting to use cheaper Plexiglas in place of lexan which is poly carbonate and unbreakable. This demo will settle that once and for all.

Thanks, I am going to get one. The J-Strong scratched so bad I can't see when the sun is shinning thru it.

Mine did the same on my Rhino. I used Meguiar's PlastX (clear plastis cleaner and polish). It really helped, took out almost all of the finer scratches. May take more than coat.

Did you apply the meguiars cleaner by hand or with a powerball or something? I may try it on my moose windshield. After watching that video i'll be sure to avoid people swinging hammers out on the trail ! j/k good info there

Lexan (Poly Carbonete) is best choice, tougher less likely to brake but not unbreakable. It is also 5-6 times more scratch resistant than plexiglass you can also polish out scrathces.

I did my by hand. Mine took more than one time. And always used after washing.

Anybody ever thought about tearoffs. Not the whole windshield but say a 10 X 10 size for the drivers side.
