I have only used the EZ2CY cleaner polish with great results. Why use anything else. BTW, use of Pledge especially long term may create problems. The marina we were once at recommended it to use on the curtain vinyls, and there was a rash of browning, hazing and cracking of the clear panels after a year. Was it the Pledge? Don't know for sure.
My understanding is that these products, EZ2CY, IMAR, etc., have ingredients designed for clear panel use, platicizers, etc. I use IMAR on our Strataglass and EZ2CY products on the EZ2CY panels. After 4 years, our panels are still almost like new.

I use EZ2CY cleaner polish, Plexus , or Camco 210 scratch remover (good to use 1st if spotting is noticed) and 210 cleaner/polish.
I gather some do just use Pledge but they take care to NOT use Lemon Pledge as the citric acid apparently can damage or yellow.
The EZ2CY website does say one can even use good quality uncolored auto paste wax ( presumably carnuba) if desired. I haven't tried that but imagine use of the cleaner polish is better for clears that have not been thoroughly cleaned 1st.
I just used Plexus a couple days ago. It smelled like Pledge. But the EZ2CY is expensive enough I'd prefer to not take chances with products not specifically for acrylics , and the spray cleaner polishes do work well and last for many applications.
BTW, my EZ2CY is maybe 12-14 yrs old and the clears are still impressive. No yellowing & the only very small problem is where the overhead radar's heat sink (since moved) was just touching the clear in an area of about a quarter. Don't let hot metal touch it. Some of the zipper pulls have issues though.

210 (both the polish/cleaner and scratch remover) is the same thing, that is what we use, and what most EZ2CY dealers will sell you. Pledge on EZ2CY is a definite no no, though some versions of it work on Strataglass and Isenglass. We have three big panels across the aft deck and two smaller ones on the corner: see my avatar.
