All right. Finally something that I know a little bit about. Lexan! About 10 times the impact strength of acrylic. ( Plexiglas ) The good thing about acrylic is that it's completely resistant to UV. Lexan is not. Thus, even though the Lexan is tougher, and will ultimately last longer, it may turn yellow on you as it ages. As far as the scratches and hazing, there is a two part process that generally cleans them up to near new condition. Take one part mirror glaze, and one part elbow grease. Mix the two thoroughly using a soft cotton rag, and pressure against the plastic. With enough mixing, you'll be amazed at how good they'll look. Why replace them if they ain't broke.
