I have a perspex canopy over an outdoor swimming pool. It is 10-15 years old and in generally good condition apart from several large areas, several feet square, where what appears to be sunscreen cream has clouded the plastic, rendering it white and opaque. It will not wipe off with a damp cloth nor rub off with a fingernail. Does anyone know of a restoration treatment suitable for this which is over a larger than average area, i.e. not suitable for small cleaning kits? Thanks!

Try T cut

Acrylic can sometimes be polished out. Cast acrylic is better than extruded acrylic, which is softer. You could try T-Cut in a small corner and if it looks like it will work move onto an acrylic polishing compound like Zwizzer on a mop head. The Plastic Sheets Shop has some good info on the techniques and materials used here

Plastic bath polish/repair paste, I have used it to polish up my Volvo headlamp covers which get cloudy.
