Once your window goes hazy and then yellow the plastic is on its way out.

It wont be long before you start getting cracks, maybe a couple years if your lucky and don't retract the roof at all.

Better to invest your time in getting a new plastic window sewn in ($150-$600), buy a new third party replacement top ($450-$700) or replace the entire roof with a used glass window 03-04 4 bow top($700-$1200)

I suppose polishing will get it useable at least for the short term. I have heard others say that the plastic lens polishing/restore kits work reasonably well.

Tip: Never fill oil into the coolant system. Never fill Water into the Oil system. So your boo boo is not too terrible compared to some others unfortunate mistakes.
