FWIW, I have issued instructions about various things to our boat-cleaning crew, too... with about a 50% success rate.

We use the Imar 302/303 something-or-other cleaning/polishing products recommended for Stratoglass, recommended by our installer.

Our Makrolon panels (from our 2009 installation) have a bit of crazing (scratching?) that sometimes is visible when the sun is at certain angles. I suspect I did that myself, though, when trying to dry the panels in the dark for visibility before leaving the dock... I haven't gotten around to researching whether that can be improved, but have read the products recommended for EZ2CY might be helpful.
