Why does my screen, canopy, or porthole cloud up?

For convertible cars every time the soft top is folded microscopic scratches are formed on the windows plastic (Perspex) rear screen which causes the window to look cloudy and difficult to see through.

For boat windows plastic and yacht portholes, saltwater erosion is the biggest culprit. For light aircraft it’s the effect of dust, rain and hail hitting the canopy at high speed.
