      Flory shows a video on how to remove seams on canopies, the principle would be the same, he uses a polishing stick to get the clear look back.

        I have used this method once. It works well, but do not use low grade toothpaste as these are too coarse and end up scratching your canopy more.

          I use the squadron Tri grit, then the smoothest grade of a nail buffing stick
