If it's starting to haze up it might be better to replace it. If it's still pretty clear there are many plastic polishes on the market that will help.

Ok here is an easy fix and for the expense incurred - last a while--- use Pledge after cleaning it with a damp cloth and drying.

what kind of plastic polish

Take some rubbing compound like 3M "Finnessee-It" It works well on plastic and it will clean up the scratches which are probable giving you the hazey look. Go to a body shop and get some from them, this stuff comes in a quart bottle at about $35.00 a pop.
