Nope. We spoke to Jim's people about buffing/ polishing one of my friends canopies just to make it easier to see because they were slightly yellowish and were told they would have to be sanded down, and a bunch of stuff done just to remove the slight yellow it has. The windshield on this GTX is pretty much all full of spider cracks or whatever that's called.Still an awesome boat though and a windshield shouldn't be the main reason hold you back from doing this project IMO.

A lot of the windscreens and canopies you see on boats have a ton of crazing like this, and most of it is because the owners use a glass cleaner like Windex with ammonia in it, which should never be done.

Tom,
Go for it, then I won't be in the doghouse by myself, (being a (4) boat owner as of 2 weeks ago)!

An old airplane owners trick. Use pledge to clean the windows. I believe pledge will also remove light yellowing on acrylic windshields and it also works on the plastic windows on convertibles.
