Hey Ed.

No. Polycarbonate is dense but is very soft and that is why it is impact resistant. It absorbs energy but won't shatter. It's so soft, you can drill it and put in a sheet metal screw. It dents and scratches easily. Windshields made with polycarbonate have to have a scratch resistant material on the front and back just like polycarbonate glasses do. I know there is different levels scratch resistant material. If you wipe a piece of polycarbonate with a dirty rag, it will scratch.
