Oxidized or cloudy bug deflector

[Fowlhunter]

What is the best way to make my bug deflector look (shinny) new again?  It has several bug stains on it and it looks cloudy.

Thanks, Fowlhunter

I think any plastic can be buffed with a polishing wheel.......

WAX & Cleaner Wax etc..

treat it like paint.

Maybe wet sand with 2000 grit... then compound etc etc

What brand do you have?  I am on my second Lund.  They are pieces of junk.  The first time the bug shield turned cloudy it was my fault.  I used Invisible Glass Cleaner and the directions say not to use on plastic.  My rag would turn yellow when I wiped the shield.  I bought a new one and the truck accessory place said to use nothing but wax, particulary anything with carnuba.  I used Mother's wax in which he said would be fine, and now I have the same problem as before, yellowing on the rag.  He told me that when I used the glass cleaner on the first one, the chemical took out the moisture in the shield that is why it yellowed.

Thanks, I will have to try the buffing.  Maybe I will try to sand it first.

Not sure of the brand?  I installed it when I purchased my AV in 03.  I've tried bug & tar remover, wax, nothing seems to work.  May have to try what Z66 BUTCH and ygmn sugested.  I use Mother's wax on the truck.  I need to either get it cleaned or purchase a new one, it looks like sh_t. 

Thanks Man.
