I took a chance the other day and picked up some Turtle Wax Scratch and Swirl Remover. It was $2 for 11oz at Wally World. It's made for paint, but I wondered how it would be on plastic. The result was very good. Just like the others, it will leave white on the sailcloth, so be a little careful. It cuts right through UV damage and dirt. It will goober up if it's applied too thick and not buffed out fast enough. If it does, just reapply a bit and buff over the mess - it'll come off. It does a good job of concealing small scratches, but can't do much to hide the big ones. Much cheaper than other plastic polishes I've used.
What I've found works well is to apply a small amount on a cloth diaper and work it in until it's gone - like spit polishing. If you apply and allow it to haze and then wipe, it will work - just not as well IMO. It even did a good job of cleaning up the scars on the rear window from being held up by the straps. You can still see where they are, but at least you can see through them.
I also used it to clean the lenses on the headlights of my wife's JK. One was so scuzzy that I had to use regular rubbing compound to cut through the damage and then buff it out with the swirl remover. If you know what you're looking for, you can see where it was cleaned, but it's cheaper than new lenses.
