The faceashield on my Nava has the mandatory microscratches we all know so
well.  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.
