Crystal clear window..

I can't help but notice that most, if not all of you have crystal clear window on your completed model car. I was wondering do you all do anything to the window to make it crystal clear or you all just use it straight from the box? Thanks in advance...

Re: Crystal clear window..

I haven't seen rubbing compound in any local stores... is wax enough? Isn't it abrasive? I'd better go experiment on the sprues.
