April 21, 2010. Jim Robinson, Aquila, Pacific Dolphin # 273, sent in an interesting 'fix' on scratched. cloudy plastic windows..

Hi Ron,

I'm in Yosemite doing my camp host gig.  Being here gives me time to weed through my hard drive for long lost files and I found these pictures I took over a year ago of a window reclamation project on my Dolphin.  The windows are Plexiglas and badly oxidized and /or sun damaged over the years. I had already decided to replace them and I thought I would experiment with and old friend, Barkeepers Friend (a light abrasive powder) found at Wal-Mart and a new found friend, Mequires PlastX (cleanser/polisher for plastic headlight covers) found at Kragens or Auto Zone.  Between them I was pleasantly surprised at the results.  One picture captures the outcome of the combined application.  Suffice to say I did not replace the windows and a year later they are still clear.

I hope all is well with you.

Jim
