Car wax and a buffer works ok.
I am going to replace mine this summer. Mine are starting to crack and when I pried one off it was a bit brittle.

Hi Kevin,
I purchased a product called Novus which is a polishing compound
specifically engineered to remove scratches from plastic. I, too, have a
Hoyt 32 which had the same problem. Novus comes in 3 versions, 1, 2 and
3. Novus 1 is a cleaner, 2 and 3 are polishing compounds, 2 for fine
scratches and 3 for heavier ones. You apply it as you would your one step
hull cleaner, rubbing in circles and letting it dry. Then wipe away with a
clean cloth. I did my hatch covers, port lights, weather board and the
plastic on my dodger. It works great. Bear in mind this plastic is over
20 years old, so it won’t look brand new, but I found it to be a great
improvement.
I got my supply at a local plastic supply house. You can google
Novus to find the website and perhaps find a distributor nearby.
Good Luck.

I’ve used the stuff from auto parts
places for cleaning vinyl convertible rear windows. Usually their two
containers, one cleaner and one polish. Worked great on my ports.

I just finished replacing all the portlights on my H32. If your present ones are Lexan (poly carb’) they really don’t clean-up very well. It’s not really to bad a job unless, of course, some PO bedded them with 5200, then I pity you.
