Does anyone out there know how to repolish a clouded canopy? Is there a plastic polish available to do the job?

Have you tried dipping it in Future ? There are plastic polishes out there, but as I’ve never used them, I’ll let another person field that question. Good luck !
I recently cleaned up every single clear part of my Bugatti EB110, and an old canopy that I had ruined as well. I used my polishing kit, starting with 3200 grit, because the scratches were bad. When I was finished with the whole process, 12000 grit, then I used the Novus plastic polishes that I bought along with the polishing kit. The parts were as clear as glass, and perfect. Finally I dipped them in Future, and they’re immaculate now. It’s worth it to have a polishing kit, if only to fix some clear parts, but you’ll find tons of other uses as well. Anyway, give that a shot, it worked perfectly for me, and I’d never done it before.
i use 2000 sand paper and polishing compound (gunze) but i gues a 12000 grit will work better i assume.
You can clean up clear parts, as ‘maddafinga’ explains. A polishing kit plus Novus polish and some good old fashioned work will remove most blemishes from clear parts. One thing you do have to watch out for is putting too much pressure on the part your working on and cracking it altogether. Many a time I got too carried away with buffing out the little scuff mark or small scratch only to place too much pressure on the part and crack it, thus rendering the part useless. Arrgghhh! So be careful!
Thanks fellows for all the advices . I can surely use them. I’ve read so much about this Future wax from SC Johnson , I’m from the Philippines it seems that we don’t have this type of wax polish in the market. Is clear polyurethane floor sealant a good substitute?
Future is an clear, acrylic product. See if you can find somethig similiar.
Oddly enough toothpaste works as a great (because it is…) polishing paste…
Dissolving tablets for dentures are a little less effective though
