Cleaning Rear Window on Convertible

I just purchased an 88 Iroc Convertible with a 1 year old top. However, the rear window is really tough to see through. It appears to be minor scratches/smudges. What's the best way to clean it without making the situation worse?

if theres any tree sap or hardened stuff on it, use WD 40 to get that off first... once anything hard is off use regular soap and water.... like dawn... and wash just the window by hand...

once its clean, its a good idea to put a small amount of wax on the plastic window to keep it from yellowing over time.



edit... most dish soaps arnt mild enough... from everyone ive talked to, use only Dawn.... and DONT use windex.
