If I cut Lexan on a bandsaw, what is the best way to sand out the cut

marks
along the cut line? Sand paper? File? I want to make a new windshield

and
the cut edge will be the top of the windshield (open cockpit).

Make a template out of medium density fiberboard. sanded to the exact size
you want the windshield to be, then cut the windshield a hair larger than
the template. Use a pattern tracing bit in a router (ball bearing),
variable speed, if possible, run at a fairly slow speed.

If it is a long straight line, a jointer works great. Try it on a scrap.
You will be impressed.
