I periodically spray it with Pledge and buff it in real well. This helps quite a bit for a little while. A friend of mine uses carnauba based car wax--no abrasives, just pure wax--for the same but longer lasting result. If you can find faceshields with the scratch-resistant surface coatings, they are supposedly well worth it. I've seen demos where steel wool is vigorously applied to both a treated and non-treated piece of plexiglass. The coated one is virtually untouched, whereas the plain one is as you would expect.
