I've heard that common "Brasso" works well on plastic windows on
softops...might work, could it hurt?
Otherwise, go to any motorcycle shop and ask for plexiglass polish/cleaner,
used on m/c windshields. It's sold in 3 strengths, one for polishing out
deep scratches, another less-abrasive for fine scratches and finally a
cleaner to get the bugs off, but "damnificanremeberthenameofhtestuffiuse"

...previously, on LRO...
Thanks Mark but it is a globe. Or semi-globe really, so I can't go out and
get a sheet to replace it. Looks like it's time for a new compass :-(
Thanks anyway.

Before you heave it out, I've had a lot of luck on things like this with a
polishing mop on a drill, charged with jeweler's abrasive polish of a fine
grade.
Typically I start out with alumina then switch to rouge for the final
polish. It's a bit of a risk so don't try this on something you care about,
but I've done it to more than one clear plastic item with good results.
If you want a gentler test of the concept use automotive buffing
compound...
