Hi Ally
Use Simoniz Wax Polish (do Small squares Approx 8'' at a time do not let it harden on plastic, apply in small circular motions, polish off immediately)
Use soft cheese cloth to polish off

It is slightly abrasive which should help remove minor scratches from acrylic windows.
If the scratches are minor it is possible to add a little water to the T cut first.
Only do a small area at any time and make sure it isn't causing any dulling of the window finish.
If it removes the scratches remember to polish with some sort of vehicle wax afterwards. This should add a little protection again.
Don't try a buffing machine as is could melt the acrylic.

You can get a rubbing compound from the internet for refurbishing car headlamps, I did my mH windows which are very scratched, it doesn't remove the scratches but makes the windows very clean. After a coat of car polish seals the scratches and keeps them clear for a little longer.
I'm told there is also a compound for sale in caravan accessory shops that will do the same job.
Good Luck
Bill

Coming in a bit late on this one I know, but I have seen Silvo (Silver Polish) referred to in some of the Camper Magazines as being an accepted way of reducing or indeed removing scratches from plastic windows.
The proviso of testing it on a less than critical window on your 'van will still be very important.
