Scratched Windscreen fix
Submitted by Jason P on Wed, 2013-10-23 12:31
Just trying to find out whether anyone has used Meguires PlastX to restore their Acrylic windscreen?
Currently the screen has some light scratching from the cover travelling back from Shark bay, hoping this may clear it up again as just replaced the windscreen it 6 months ago.

That stuff will work, light
That stuff will work, light polishing compound will do the same. I remember fixin scratched playstation games when I was a kid with the old mans cutnpolish
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Hi Jason P, I have used that
Hi Jason P,
I have used that stuff (with a drill bit polisher) on my clears that were fogging and it didn't make that much difference. You would do better with a more agressive cut if you are actually trying to remove scratches.
Cheers

Cerium Oxide works well on
Cerium Oxide works well on glass not 100% sure on acrylictry a small bit in the corner or a scrap bit first
just dont overheat the acrylic whilst doing it or it will distort , if you use a drill polishing bit ( have some one help you , cerium oxide comes in a powder get it into a paste (use water for this) use the second person with a spray bottle and water to keep the polishing wheel cool , constantly spraying you'll see the paste drying out if it starts getting hot any way
heatley sales should have the polishing bit and cerium oxide

we used brasso on our caravan
Acrylic windows and they came up a treat.. This was recommended by the son in law who is a plastics fabricator..
Hell of a lot cheaper than those wankie products and prob does a better job..
I've spent half my life fishing.. The other half I have wasted..
