I use Glare Pro Polish on mine when doing the bike.  When I'm on the road, I use whatever "dry" detailing product I'm trying at that time. I've about settled on Glare Sahara.  Also good is the plastic polish available to do the shields on your helmets.

Any idea if the glasperin will remove warts too!  :D

I don't currently ride with a shield, but when I did, I just used turtle liquid wax.  Worked like a charm, plus with a good wax coat I never worried about hitting it with the crappy paper towels at the gas station and such.  Figured the plastic surface was protected.  My shield was polycarbonate.  Don't know if it's safe for acrylic.
