Try. Auto glym resin polish. This gives great results. But it requires lots of elbow grease, I saw a plastic window on a convertible over week restored to perfect conditon  :)

if you decide to go for T-Cut make sure it is T-Cut original not one of the new colour tinted polishes that they produce under the same brand name as the colour tinted polishes are for colour restoration of your paintwork. The Auto Glym is the 'super resin polish' (all auto glym products have the ,'auto glym' name in a diferent colour on them and the super resin polish is in red) In my opinion you will get the best result from the super resin polish, but it requires more elbow grease. Neither of them are the soft option as you will need hard work and 2 or 3 hours hard polishing. Hope that helps and happy polishing. :y
