Steel wool and water.

Kidding.... I used car wash soap to clean, then waxed with Griot wax. Any good wax should work. But there will be someone more knowledgeable along to give you a proper answer.

Plexus - highly recommended by many manufacturers. Used extensively within the aviation community and has a long track record of very good results.

I use a little soap and water on a clean microfiber towel and then I spray wax it. Keeps it clean & shiny and the spraywax makes anything that sticks to it come off easy!

Another vote for Novis 1 for cleaning, Novis 2 or 3 to cleanup minor scratches. Then use the RainX for plastic windshields in the yellow spray bottle to top it off.
