I bought a very small orbital buffer and worked it very vigorously with the various plastic cleaners. It wouldn't remove the haze line either.

I've been wanting to try something even stronger, like polishing compound but I chickened out for fear I'd make a mess I couldn't recover from. So I'm interested in hearing more about the automotive polish on the rear window. I'm thinking rubbing compound followed by polish.
I'd stay away from rubbing compound - it's much too abrasive for a plastic window. Again, I've had very positive results using the Tuttle Wax polish. Not just on the plastic window, but on a number of other surfaces like clear coat .
