I have some horrid water stains and drips from Meguirs softtop treatment on the rear plastic and can't get them out. Any good products out there that will clean the plastic without scratching it?

I have tried a few ideas.
Someone recommended "Brasso", dont - it's a nightmare to get off!
Autoglym SRP works well, just make sure you don't leave it on too long.
Megs Stage 2 works too, but as above - buff it up quickly.
Autoglym Fast Glass is worth a try, and contains no abrasives therefore can be used safely on acrylic and plastic windows.
