The best thing you can do to protect your windows from yellowing due to gazillions of tiny scratches is to never ever (!!) use paper towels on them. Made from wood products, paper towels silently add tiny scratches each time they're used on soft plastic windows. Use only a slightly dampened old cotton terry cloth towel with soapy water after rinsing off as much dirt as possible first and they'll stay clear for many years.

I think the product I use is made by mothers...not sure will have to check..just went to local pepboys and looked for a plastic window cleaner/polisher, takes out tiny scratches and cleans and protects .......yes like jerry said, might as well buy them in bulk...I did....soft cotton terry cloth towels come in handy...and are perfect for cleaning the plastic windows...and everything else!!

I have had good luck with the Scotts shop towels on mine.
( the blue paper towels from the parts store)
Just make sure you keep a lot of water or, cleaner on while wiping them, to lubricate the towel.
Advance Auto Parts carry "perfessionals favorite wonder gel" it is a glass cleaner that is good for plastics..
works great.....
