Almost all uses some type of abrasive to remove the stains, sand paper etc.... I had an old wind screen that I used to test to see what would happen and work. The best was with novus #2 then #1 , sand paper removed the scratches, I used 2,000 grit, but left a blurred finish. Could have been the type of material the wind screen was made of.

Follow No. 3 up with the same procedure using No. 2. Finally, hand clean using No. 1 Novus. This procedure will mitigate nearly everything except a scratch that is so deep you can feel it with your fingernail. If it is so deep that you can feel it by dragging your fingernail over it you will need to ask for divine intervention because nothing I have ever used will give you much solace.

Auto/Bike clear coat paint wax has a very fine abrasive in it & if used with a small power buffer, can remove most fine scratches in uncoated plastic like acrylics. Like everything, go slow & do it several times.
ps: start with a well cleaned windshield... one spec of sand can ruin the plastic.
