I recently cleaned up the headlight lenses on my 1995 Ford using one of 
the headlight polishing kits. Don't know how plexiglas compares to 
headlight plastic, but this stuff worked great on the headlight lenses. 
There are many products out there, but I chose Crystal View because it 
had good reviews on the net and was a manual process as opposed to power 
tool process.
