Read the ingredient list on the product. If it contains petroleum based ingredients, don't use it on the quarter windows. It will only accelerate the deterioration.
Is the plastic actually hazy or is it crazed (little tiny spider cracks) ? I never seen one just hazy. If it just looks hazy because of sun cracking, nothing will fix it and it will just end up breaking into pieces. I tried one of them once and I could poke my finger thru it because it was so brittle. If it IS just fogged up (hazy) and you cant polish it out, you can sand it with #400 wet-or-dry and spray them with clear urathane. Ive done that successfully on headlites too far gone to polish completely.

They're just scratched a lil, I'll wet sand them 500 > 1500. and then polish em. With the body mods done and the car painted and ready for buffing, I'd like the sail panels to look good too; yeah photos soon. The styling is very race car-like and a love or hate thing.

I guess I'll give this a try, mine has small scratches near the top edge.

If it is just a little haze, it will be fine sanded and buffed. Keep your buffer moving so it dont heat up the plastic and warp it. Use lots of compound. For a final polish on windows, you can use a clean pad and toothpaste. It does great. I buff out models with toothpaste all the time.

You do, and the girls don't complain? Sounds kinda messy to me.
