OUCH....... Any type of windex or armorall will stain it. I had to replace mine a few years back when a few spots of armorall hit it.

I use water and microfiber towel.

I have saved a few at work by lightly wet sanding them and then use a compound by hand to remove the sand marks. I was surprised the first time I did it and it actually cleared the glass up. Make sure you don't apply alot of pressure. If you are going to buy a new one anyway it won't hurt to try.

you can fix it the same way with headlights. Wetsand up to a 2000 grit, use something like Novus plastic polish #3 and then #2.
